A Merry Christmas for firefighters offspring

Children of firefighters based at the Rooiberg Bawaria Base will this year have a really Merry Christmas, flowing from cash vouchers awarded to each child.

Base manager Annelie Becker said it was decided that the end-of-year celebrations in 2018 would be used to spread cheer among the children of members of the Working on Fire (WoF) team.

A total of 25 firefighters from the Department of Environmental Affairs’ initiative, Working on Fire (WoF) Limpopo, are based at the Rooiberg base.

Children accompanying their parents to the 2018 year-end function held on Friday 30 November were each offered a voucher worth R300.

The base has been in operation for three years, but has been hailed as a life-saver in terms of firefighting operations throughout the Waterberg.
