‘More can be done to prevent shack fires’

Cape Town's Fire and Rescue Service on Tuesday said more could be done to prevent shack fires in the Western Cape.

This came after four people, including two children, died in a shack fire in Philippi on Monday.

This brings the shack fire death toll to 54 this year.

Cape Town Fire and Rescue Service's Theo Layne said various campaigns have been put in place to educate people about the dangers of shack fires.

“We go out to the various departments, schools, old age homes and hospitals,” he said.
