While the City of Johannesburg hopes its fourth attempt to secure firefighting vehicles bears fruit next year, a private firefighting company has taken over a large part of the services.

City of Tshwane emergency services department spokesperson Charles Mabaso said they had assisted the City of Johannesburg on two occasions — with the fire at the Bank of Lisbon in 2018 and the fire at Charlotte Maxeke Hospital.

“Our priority is to assist where we can whether its life, property or communities. We can never turn our back on that.”Retired fire chief Ronnie Cloete said there was a lack of training and fire engines and the dispatch centres within the department was non-functional. Mulaudzi denied this, saying the inspection of fire hydrants is part of their daily duties when responding to incidents.
