George Fire and Disaster Services Assists at Mossel Bay Fire

On Tuesday 6 January 2026, George Fire and Disaster Services deployed our 35,000-litre water tanker and a skid unit to assist Mossel Bay Fire and Rescue with firefighting operations. The tanker provides essential water supply, while the skid unit supports suppression efforts in difficult terrain.

Officials deployed include Platoon Commander Henry Ciko and Firefighters Nico Rossouw, Joseph Fortuin and Laurent Saaiman.

George Fire and Disaster Services has withdrawn as of 7:30am but remain available for any further assistance as required.

Acting Municipal Manager Bevan Ellman thanked the fire officials for their assistance to Mossel Bay and sent a message of support to all residents of Mossel Bay affected by the devastating blaze.
