EVER DREAM OF BECOMING A FIRE-FIGHTER?
Did you ever dream of becoming a fire fighter? The Volunteer Wildfire Services is recruiting new members for the 2012/2013 season.
The VWS is a non-profit organisation that assists Table Mountain National Parks in the Cape Town area and Cape Nature in the Stellenbosch area with combating wild fires during summer months.
We only fight fires outside of the city – on the urban and agricultural fringe, as well as in remote mountain areas. We do not fight structural fires. If you would like to join our unit, all applications of potential volunteers have to be submitted by the end of April and training for the upcoming season starts in May.
Interested parties should attend one of the information sessions that are taking place on the following evenings.
Cape Town Area
16th March at 11h00 at Newlands Fire Base, Union Avenue, Newlands Forest
26th March at 19h00 at Newlands Fire Base, Union Avenue, Newlands Forest
Stellenbosch Area
14th March at 19h00 at Helderberg Nature Reserve
18th march at 19h00 at Riverside Hall, Franschoek
25th March at 19h00 at Paarl Boy’s High Club House
27th March at 18h30 at CapeNature, Jonkershoek
Please note that we are recruiting anyone who is interested in becoming a fire fighter – the only pre-requisite is that you have to be 18 and physically fit. If you don’t feel that you are fit enough or don’t want to fight fires, please still attend one of the information sessions as there are many other roles that need to be filled eg control room operator, planning members or logistics members. The meeting are open to all, without obligation to sign up as a volunteer. We hope to see you there.
