NORTH EASTERN FREE STATE FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION
Who May Join the North Eastern Freestate Fire Protection Association?
Any person from who’s land a fire can start or spread where such a fire can be classified as a veld fire and who is deemed to be the responsible person or entity may join North Eastern FS FPA.
The National Veld and Forest Fire Act (Act 101 of 1998) deems any person or entity except the owner that is in control of a given piece of land through a contract, agreement or court order to be the responsible person or entity. This includes tenants, commanders, chief executive officers and executive committees or governing bodies of community or other organisations.
The Act however stipulates that all state owned or controlled land must join a FPA should an FPA exist in the area where such land is located.
Welcome to the North Eastern Free State FPA
Area Covered by NEFSFPA
Increased pressure on land owners and land users to implement effective veld fire management strategies led to a reciprocating increase on FPA’s to improve the level of technical service and support offered to members. The increased demand for human and other resources cannot be met by smaller FPA’s in a sustainable manner. The North Eastern FS FPA was formed when it became clear that smaller FPA’s is no longer viable.
The North Eastern FS FPA covers an area of 1,2521 million hectares in the eastern part of the Thabo Mofutsanyana District Municipality. North Eastern FS FPA is an amalgamation of various smaller FPA’s that were mostly situated in the Phumelela and Maluti-a-Phofung local Municipalities.
