WoF Programme
WoF is a government-funded, job-creation programme focusing on Intergrated Fire Management in South Africa.
 
WoF firefighters are recruited from marginalised communities and trained in fire awareness and education, prevention and fire suppression skills. These young men and women form veld and forest fire fighting ground crews, stationed at bases around the country to help stop the scourge of wildfire which costs the South African economy billions of rands every year.
 
The multi-million-rand job creation programme is primarily geared towards assisting Government to fulfill its job creation and social upliftment promise to the people of South Africa. In addition, WoF is mandated to implement Integrated Fire Management, which includes supporting the development of the FPA (Fire Protection Association) structure under the National Veld and Forest Fire Act of 1998.
 
The multi-partner Working on Fire programme is implemented by the FFA Group of Companies, a leading supplier of integrated fire management services (IFMS) in South Africa.
