More wildfires expected in FS─── REFILWE GAESWE 08:50 Thu, 08 Oct 2015
Dewetsdorp - Chairperson of the Dewetsdorp Fire Association, Johann Breytenbach says they are expecting more wildfires in the Free State with the fire danger index in the high orange and red.
His comment comes after yesterday's wildfire in Dewetsdorp in the Free State. The blaze was contained yesterday afternoon thanks to a previous burn scar, which is an area of land that has previously been burned in a fire.
Breytenbach says fires are occurring on an almost daily basis.
He says the current extremely hot, dry conditions in the Free State are conducive to the easy start and rapid spread of wildfires.
