Local volunteer helps curve fire damage to Village Mall

HARTBEESPOORT – A fire was started on phase 3 of Village Mall Hartbeespoort. Lucky harties volunteer rescue was close by and immediately alerted centre management as the mall have just spent alot of money on a fence to curb dumping and the erection of informal settlements in the area. After extinguishing the uncontrolled fire it was decided that they should control burn the whole area. That is where Harties Volunteer & Rescue stepped in alongside an Aequitas Security guard from the mall who manned a 9kg DCP extinguisher, while HVR started the burn and controlled it with a fire beater. Harties Volunteer and Rescue would like to thank Madibeng Local Municipality fire services for being on standby and also AfriForum Hartbeespoort volunteer fire for also being on standby for any incident that could arise. Great work and thank you to everyone that helped!
