Discuss the causes and effects of veld fire and suggest practical solutions

In explanation.

Explanation:

Causes: most veld fires are a result of human actions that emanate from the disposal of cigarettes, the burning of vegetation when preparing fields, the use of fire by hunters, smoking out bees and the making of fires by motorists along highways.

Effects:  land management and sustainability posed by veld fires include property damage, reduced soil fertility, destruction of vegetation, air and water pollution, and destruction of wildlife.

Practical solutions:

1. Prepare fire breaks on their side if there is a reasonable risk of veld fires.

2. Have the necessary equipment, protective clothing, and trained personnel to extinguish these fires.

3. Avoid throwing cigarettes butts on the ground.

4. Have grass beaters handy to extinguish the fire.

5. Always have the emergency number handy to call emergency services 10177 on Telkom landlines or 112 on your cellphones.

6. Sand can be a very effective method of veld fire control since water will not be readily available.

7. Visit your nearest Basic Emergencies, Safety And Fire (Besafe) center for more information on fire safety education.
