If you say so I am also sure that they think that they know what they are doing, but nature is unpredictable

Re: Fire Hazard in Camps
I have watched the WOF (Working on Fire) crews in action, and they are world-renowned.

Re: Fire Hazard in Camps
Sorry Lis these guys ARE world-renowned, not everything in this country is bad, these people are some of the most dedicated people there is, with the best training(not by bee companies) in the world, they where involved in Australia with the devistating fires there, they where also involved in the USA and Canada
Just for some info Anja is also involved with this organisation, busy with her training, and they are sought after all over the world, so if they where not world-class they would not be so sought after.......

Re: Fire Hazard in Camps
OK! Africa, Australia and America known
They are obviously known where there is the habit of burning the summer grass and where there are big spaces of pastures
I have heard more than once about fires that eluded control and where enormous surfaces including houses and animals were burnt because the wind or other natural phenomena played a role. I do not know, though, if your famous WOF were involved.
It happened in Pilanesberg not too long ago.

If you don't know then you can't disparage them, Lis!

Re: Fire Hazard in Camps
I am not disparaging anyone, I was only trying to point out that the whims of nature can surprise everybody, even the best.

Re: Fire Hazard in Camps
No need to burn the natural beauty of Mopani camp gardens ..I mean rather dig up all that ghastly paving at Lower Sabie and Skukuza
