News Date: 10 September 2004
MAKHADO (LOUIS TRICHARDT) – Boere en grondeienaars word daaraan herinner dat daar vanaf 1 Augustus tot einde November ‘n algehele brandverbod in die streek van krag sal wees.
Boere en grondeienaars moet seker maak dat hul brandbane en brandbestrydingstoerusting in orde is, veral gesien in die lig van die Wet op Veld- en Bosbrande. Volgens hierdie wetgewing kan grondeienaars aanspreeklik gehou word vir skade wat deur ‘n brand aangerig word. Die wet verplig grondeienaars om hul brandbane en toerusting in orde te kry.
Volgens ‘n plaaslike brandbestrydings-beampte, mnr. Andro Fourie, sal die brandverbod van krag wees tot verdere kennisgewing óf totdat meer as 50mm reën in die distrik gemeet word.
Vir meer inligting, skakel mnr. Fourie by tel. (015) 516 4694.
