RE: FIRE EVACUATION - WHAT DO YOU SAVE?

in HiveGarden3 years ago

Only yesterday morning. The evening and today there isn't a breeze. The fires are under control. When we lived in KZN there was regular burning of firebreaks. And serious consequences for those who didn't do their required firebreaks. But here in the Western Cape - firebreaks are only done by choice by very few. I don't understand it. Although perhaps it's a Karoo mindset because we're mostly desert mountains with shale and rock

I'm glad to hear that all is under control, to be honest, I never thought that fires would be a serious risk in the Karoo but I suppose if the conditions are right and the bush has grown enough...
