With the Western Cape's annual fire season now in full swing, firefighters remain on high alert and Checkers has ensured that they are equipped with sufficient bottled water, cold drinks, energy bars and chips.

"We would like to thank Shoprite and Checkers for their kind donation and for providing the necessary resources to make this immense task more bearable for our firefighters," said Dale Nortje, Manager for the Winelands Fire Protection Association.
