Fire Does Not Discriminate

Fire  Does Not Discriminate
All it takes is one spark

Garden Route residents are all very aware of the danger and risks associated with runaway wildfires.It’s imperative that we work together with authorities, landowners and as a community to make our homes and neighbourhoods safer.

Your home, your life and your neighbours may depend on it.

The Garden Route’s beauty hides a serious fire risk: invasive vegetation often looks green and lush on the surface, but beneath the trees it can be dangerously flammable.

What seems like thriving growth is often a blanket of hidden fuel, especially when alien species crowd out moisture-holding indigenous plants. Clearing these invaders is one of the most effective ways to protect your land, your neighbours, and your environment from wildfire.

Fire resilience starts with smart land care and what you allow to grow around you.

Living in a wildfire-prone region means we can’t eliminate the risk, but we can reduce our vulnerability with smart, proactive steps.

As a community, shared responsibility is essential in the creation of fire-resilient neighbourhoods and starts with the actions we take at home.
