The Western Cape Disaster Risk
Management said human negligence resulted in deadly fires this past long
weekend.
Three people died and about 50 were
left homeless in places including Ocean View, Phillip, Macassar and Fish
Hoek.
Disaster Risk Management Spokesperson Charlotte Powell cautioned residents to be extra careful when making fires more especial this time of the year.
Powell added that residents need to
ensure that when they go to bed all electrical appliances are isolated and
candles have been extinguished and also need to check and constantly remind
their neighbors to do the same.
