IMPACTS
FIRE SEASON: Dry and windy conditions exacerbate the spread of veldt fires
• While land preparations are vital at this stage, those engaged in such on-farm and other outdoor activities are reminded that it is illegal to start veld fires.
• Fluctuation of temperatures between night and day may affect the body’s health, with common colds, influenza, and fever, as well as asthma, being common.
ACTIONS TO TAKE
Veld fires are extensive so fanners are expected to construct fire guards that are at least 9 metres wide and free of burning vegetative matter.
• Keep warm at night and avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, especially during midday
• Fanners are urged to reduce the amount of grass on their farms and residential properties through hay baling, thatch and broom grass harvesting as a fire prevention measure.
