Veld Fire Hazard: Dangerous Times: Be Prepared

Veld fire between Karibib and Omaruru, 6 August 2012
Veld fire prevention is once again high on the agenda in Erongo region. Good rains the past two seasons has resulted in good grazing and high risk conditions for veld fires. Farmers are therefore requested to be on the alert and to cooperate with neighboring farms in order to act  before fires get out of hand.
