Quay 1 Wildfire Awareness Campaign

Stronger Together

We have partnered with two organisations doing vital work to protect our region from wildfires:

• The Cape Peninsula Fire Protection Association (CPFPA) is a registered non-profit established under the National Veld and Forest Fire Act, working with landowners across the Cape Metropolitan Area on prevention, compliance and readiness.
• NCC Environmental Services (NCC-Group) specialises in integrated wildfire management, offering pre-suppression, suppression, rehabilitation and reporting services across the region.

The Western Cape's fynbos landscape is beautiful, but it's also fire-prone, and the risk grows every year as communities expand along the mountains. With one of the hottest fire seasons in recent years anticipated due to the current El Niño cycle, this campaign exists to help property owners and their communities stay a step ahead.

Get Involved

Protecting our region from fire depends heavily on community support, and there are meaningful ways to contribute beyond preparing your own property.

• Donations to the CPFPA help fund wildfire prevention, protection and preparedness, fire awareness and education in neighbourhoods, and support for landowners across the Cape Metropolitan Area.
• Volunteering offers a more hands-on way to help — from assisting with community fire-readiness days to supporting local Fire Protection Association activities in your ward - building stronger, more resilient neighbourhoods in the process.
