VELD FIRE BY SPARROW FET COLLEGE

19 July 2025

Swift Response by SCP Private Fire Search & Rescue

Earlier today, SCP Security’s Private Fire Search and Rescue Unit responded to reports of a veld fire that had almost jumped a fence and was moving towards a local school in Sophiatown.

Fire was quickly tackled by our Fire Crew Members

Thanks to our fast and coordinated response, the fire near the school was quickly contained and extinguished, preventing any potential harm to students, staff, or property.
