George Fire Rescue and Disaster Management services will carry out a Control Burn north of Denneoord Water Works today, 15 September 2025.
George Municipality apologizes for the short notice but weather conditions are ideal for this today.
Control burns serve to reduce the fuel loading (dead leaves, tree limbs, and other debris), in areas and are implemented to prevent wildfires spreading.
George Municipality was honoured to receive a Certificate of Recognition from the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) for its outstanding hands-on commitment and service in humanitarian efforts, search, rescue, and recovery operations during the “Victoria Street Building Collapse” in George, May 2024.
Present at the handover were (from left):
Riaan du Plessis (Chief Financial Officer), Godfrey Louw (Municipal Manager),
Station Commander Santa Sternsdorff (George Fire and Rescue Services), Jannie Koegelenberg
(Director: Civil Engineering Services),
Executive Mayor Jackie von Brandis,
Fire Chief and Disaster Manager Neels Barnard (George Fire and Rescue Services), and Cllr Brendon Adams (MMC: Community Safety and Mobility).
