About 90 % of our "unwanted" fires are caused by people and their activities. This is why fire awareness raising programmes need to target people and communities.
Working on Fire run fire awareness programmes in schools making use of firefighters to talk to students. Firewise is an extensive educational programme which produces posters which can be used as a teaching aid in the classroom. The colourful posters use illustrations and text to convey lessons about fuel safety, the impact of fire, causes of veld fires, what to do and what not to do, fire danger rating as well as school fire safety rules.
They have also made available to schools a schools fire awareness programme and a learning programme aimed at primary schools. There is also a fun board game for use at home or in the classroom.
A booklet written by environmental lawyer David Waddilove details in an easy to understand way how the law deals with wild fires, what landowners legal duties regarding veld fire prevention are, the requirement for firebreaks, what is the danger rating system and the fire protection association requirements and duties.
