In desperate situations, we function as a support system for first responders. When the Chief calls, we listen.
Over the past few days, we asked the community to rally, to get water, electrolytes and supplies to our firefighters who have been battling fires since the weekend. And rally you did.
On behalf of the Ndlambe Fire Department, Working on Fire team and Chief Sauls, thank you to every person, business and volunteer who answered the call, from on-scene drop-offs to food, water, medical supplies and quiet acts of support.
A special thank you to Multi Security, Gem Auto and Kowie Toyota for stepping in when equipment and vehicles needed backup, allowing operations to continue without pause.
Thank you to Sunshine Life Centre for receiving and coordinating donations for families who lost everything in the fires.
And finally, to the people who put their hands up.
The volunteers. The ones who didn’t ask questions, didn’t wait to be told what to do, and didn’t hesitate when things got real.
People who understand that this is our town, our land, and our responsibility. Thank you!
This is what community looks like when it matters.
