Southern Cape Fire Protection Association NPC

The organisations primary objectives are to (a) empower local communities to become more aware of the risks of fire, (b) capacitate them to act proactively to reduce the hazards and vulnerability of assets, (c) allow them to act as a first response to fire emergencies, (d) initiate integrated fire management in the most cost effective way possible, and (e) ensure that members comply to legislation.
In so doing, communities become safer and are more prepared in the event of a fire emergency. Through the creation of an enabling framework and greater awareness, fewer ignitions will result in less spread and easier suppression of veld fires.

The SCFPA is a registered Non-Profit Company and all funds received by the company, by law, must be used to improve the services it provide to its members. This is done through a wide range of activities, programs and services.
