The public has been urged to be very carefully when dealing with flammable objects.
This comes after a shack fire in Johannesburg on Saturday destroyed hundreds of homes leaving many displaced.
Emergency Management Services spokesperson Synoch Matabago said, “People need to be more self conscious and very self vigilant when it comes to fire safety. They need to switch off all their electrical appliances when they are not at home and those who are using candles must make sure they blow it out.”
The majority of the fires after being investigated have been found that the they were caused by negligence.
