Two City firefighters have achieved an amazing feat at the Totalsports Two Oceans half marathon. They took part in the race in FULL FIREFIGHTING GEAR to raise funds for an NGO.
City firefighters achieve an amazing feat
The City’s JP Smith says he’s very proud of firefighters Jermaine and Renaldo. He said taking part in FULL FIREFIGHTING GEAR entailed that they ran 21 kilometres with, among others, thick bunker gear clothing, helmets, and breathing apparatus oxygen tanks!
To raise awareness and donations for the NGO
🚒 MMC Smith says their participation was to raise awareness and donations for the NGO Volunteer Wildfire Services (VWS). He says they do amazing work supporting firefighters. He says the community organisation provides vital support to SANParks and the Table Mountain National Park when there are wildfires to be battled.
Smith added that VWS is in desperate need of a new vehicle to transport volunteers to the mountain during fires. He says their old ones broke down.
