On Friday evening, 15 March 2024, mountain fires broke out in Haarlem, a small town on the eastern outskirts of the George Municipal precinct. The George Fire Brigade, along with the Garden Route District Municipality’s Fire Services, Southern Cape Fire Protection Association (SCFPA), and Working on Fire (WOF), promptly mobilised their firefighting teams to respond to the blaze. The cause of the fire remains unknown at this stage.

This morning, 16 March, firefighting crews conducted a full reconnaissance and subsequently deployed drones. Currently, the northwestern line against Haarlem town poses no threat to structures. Meanwhile, the southern line remains active, with ground crews diligently working to contain it. The northeasterly line is advancing towards orchards, prompting the George Fire team to mobilise in that direction. Additionally, the George Mobile Water tanker has been activated to provide water support to the firefighters.

Despite the fire’s intensity, the firefighting teams are effectively safeguarding all structures, ensuring their security. We will continue to provide updates on any developments regarding the situation.

For any emergencies, the George Fire Department can be contacted on Fire Emergencies: 044 801 6311 or After-Hours and Emergencies: 044 801 6300.

ROTATIONAL SWITCH ON AFTER LOADSHEDDING
Consumers are reminded to PLEASE use electricity sparingly after power returns. Please do not switch high-usage equipment on immediately after Load shedding.
Consumers are urged to turn off high-usage equipment and where possible to not switch on appliances such as stoves and kettles for at least 30 minutes after load shedding is scheduled to return. This will reduce the risk of overload tripping on the network.

Reporting power outages
Please do not phone the after-hours number or the Electrotechnical Department to report that you have no power immediately after load shedding is scheduled to be lifted. Please be aware of the rotational switching on i.e. areas are switched on one by one and not all at the same time to avoid overloading the system. Please wait at least 30 minutes before reporting no power. The Electrotechnical Directorate will be aware of a possible substation trip that needs to be sorted out.

Municipal Plant of the Month – Ipomoea indica/alba/purpurea/hederifolia: All species have been classified as invasive in South Africa. Commonly they are known as the Morning Glory. Nearly all species of these plants are perennial and have tenacious vines bearing purple, blue, scarlet, white (moonflower) and pink flowers which open each morning and fade at night.

All Ipomoea tolerate a wide range of average to poor soil and sunny to partial shade conditions. The leaves are heart-shaped, bright green and sparsely hairy.
It spreads by seed.

Invasive status: Listed as a Category 1b (NEMBA), this creeper invades woodlands, waste areas, arable land, roadsides, riverbanks and coastal dunes. It is a habitat transformer as it scrambles over and competes with other species.
Control: It is extremely difficult to control. All plants must be systematically uprooted and destroyed. No specific herbicides are registered. Regular follow-up is essential.
