Handle the heat

I want to thank Nelson Mpeko and his team at Protection Services in this town/ "city" - plus surrounding areas - for putting their own lives at risk to protect us.

Madam – Handle the heat.

I, via media, born and bred in Newcastle, want to thank Nelson Mpeko and his team at Protection Services in this town/ “city” – plus surrounding areas – for putting their own lives at risk to protect us.

In my 60 years in this town, we had NO protection service. As I recall one night, my husband late from work, dropped a smouldering cigarette on the floor of the garage where petrol had leaked from the car.

Luckily I was in the kitchen and saw the flames! My neighbour shouted and my reflex was just to get the car out. This I did, but it was not to my advantage as my clothes started to burn.

I got the car out and then left the rest in the garage to “go to hell”. My neighbours tried to help but what could buckets of water and a useless hosepipe do against these flames?

Nothing!

Whereas if Protection Services and Nelson were around, we could have saved lots that was stored in the garage.

Thank you guys, we owe you!
