Thabazimbi Fire Protection Association

Thabazimbi – “The TFPA (Thabazimbi Fire Protection Association) is not a fire fighting force,” Gert Gouws, chairmen of the TFPA said.

The role of the FPA is to educate, inform, advise, consult, represent and train members.

The National Fire Act requires landowners to have enough trained staff and fire fighting equipment to stand a reasonable chance of preventing fires and stopping them from spreading to adjacent properties.

Landowners have to comply with the Act, whether they belong to an FPA or not. FPAs help their members to fulfil their legal responsibilities by providing advice and guidance on how to reduce the risk of wildfires.

The FPA is a platform for landowners to coordinate efforts and share resources during fire incidents.
