He added that the structure involved was a wooden building.
“Initial reports categorised the incident under building code 017; however, it was later clarified that the fire was actually in an outbuilding, designated as code 016.”
“Station 12 in Heuweloord was activated, and we had backup from Station 3 in Centurion on standby,” Matlala explained.
He said Station 3 was cancelled shortly after, as the first station could manage the situation effectively.
