HESSEQUA NEWS - The current load shedding implemented by electricity utility Eskom poses a heightened fire risk for homeowners and their families.
Michael van Niekerk, ASP Fire CEO urges all homeowners to put basic fire-risk mitigation measures in place to protect both their families and properties.
The first thing homeowners need to do in the event of load shedding is to ensure all power sources are switched off.
Another risk factor is using candles as a light source, which need to be extinguished immediately once the power supply is restored.
