At approximately 18:00 on Thursday, the CERT-SA Centurion crew responded to a residential house fire in Wierdapark. On arrival, the home was fully engulfed in flames, with neighbours and good Samaritans attempting to control the fire using garden hoses.
Four people were assessed on scene for mild smoke inhalation. Sadly, a family pet succumbed to smoke inhalation.
The fire was successfully extinguished by Fidelity ADT Secure Fire and the Tshwane Fire Department. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
Thank you to Seek Security, Monitor Net, Tshwane Emergency Services Department, Fidelity ADT Secure Fire, Wierdaburg Sector 3 CPF, Emergency Services Chaplaincy, Emergency Medical Solutions, ER24, and the brave neighbours and passers-by who assisted on scene.
