Fire Symposium Field Day

November 22, 2024

The field day included many live demos on a sugar farm hosted by the uMshwathi Fire Protection Association (FPA) and static displays at the Shafton air base in Karkloof.

Suleiman Dhliwayo of Trident Africa extinguishes a hay bale fire with the new Trident foam mixture, which cools and extinguishes fires quickly.

Unfortunately, the weather was cold, wet and misty. Still, it did not deter attendees from engaging with equipment and service providers and networking with colleagues.

Andre Scheepers of Anco Manufacturing demos the latest compressed air foam spray (CAFS) 800 firefighting unit. It injects foam into the water with compressed air, providing more power and reach than conventional fire tenders.
Jackie de Billot of Vanguard Fire & Safety demos a portable foam pack that gives firefighters some extra ammo.
