The City is committed to ensuring public safety and mitigating the potential impact of load-shedding. In this mini-podcast, Fire and Rescue Service Spokesperson, Jermaine Carelse talks about fire safety during load-shedding.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Questions: <\/p>\n
1. What are the biggest fire threats related to load-shedding? <\/p>\n
2. Has the Fire and Rescue Service noticed an increase in residential fires during periods of load-shedding?<\/p>\n
3. What are some tips for people to better protect their homes and their families from the threat of fire during load-shedding? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In the event of a fire or any other life-threatening emergency, call the City\u2019s Public Emergency Communication Centre on 021 480 7700 from a cellphone or 107 from a landline.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Eskom\u2019s blackouts typically cause power faults due to nuisance tripping and increased service requests.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Please wait at least 30 minutes before logging a service request alerting the City that the power in your area has not come back after load-shedding. Sometimes, the issue is already being resolved. City teams will do their best to attend to any outages as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
