Fire hydrant points checked and marked for better safety

VANDERBIJPARK.- Ward 10 has started a Fire Hydrant Project, whereby over a period of time all hydrant points will be checked and clearly marked.
This will ensure that when a fire breaks out, there will be a clear, functioning fire hydrant point which could be lifesaving. The Ward 10 Committee received a letter of support from the Emfuleni Local Municipality to start with the project in CW and CE areas (CBD, CW2, CW3, CW5, CW6 around Totius Primary, CE1, CE4, CE5, CE6).
A map indicating the fire hydrant point, will be marked afterwards. Red paint will be used to show where the fire hydrant point is and a basic inventory will be noted as to the fire hydrant point in terms of possible future maintenance  This community project will assist the
Fire Department immensely. All involvement is voluntary, and the project will take approximately a year to complete.
Those involved are:

1) Ward 10 Councillor, Peter Verbeek

2) All Ward 10 Committee Members

3) All Ward 10 residents & businesses

4) Various sponsors

5) Fire Department Vanderbijlpark
* The official launch was held on Saturday at 10:00 at Siemenshof in Siemens Street, CW 3.
