Fire breaks out at Brentwood Park, Ekurhuleni

​City of Ekurhuleni Fire Services received the call around 15h00 Saturday afternoon, 22 June 2024, of a massive grass fire at Brentwood Park Benoni. William Ntladi, media liaison officer, DEMS, City of Ekurhuleni, said, “Fire crews from Farrermere and Albertina Sisulu fire stations, both responded simultaneously and respectively out to the address for intervention. On arrival, a massive carbon smoke was being emitted because of the burning truck tyres, which were staged along the perimeter wall fencing of a logistics company near Stanley Road.”
 
“Exposure protection was the initial strategy applied as many vehicles, trucks and trailers were exposed to the fire”, Ntladi added.
 
“Preliminary enquiries state, "The was a grass fire outside the company and unnoticeably, it burnt under the perimeter concrete wall slabs before lighting stages of tyres adjacent to the wall.  A total number of 15 old trucks and trailers awaiting for rebuild, were damaged in the fire”, said Ntladi.
 
He added, “16 firefighters from the City of Ekurhuleni Fire Services were in attendance using two fire engines. They were assisted by OR Tambo Airport firefighters and private security firefighters. That brought number of fire engines to five and that of personnel to 23. Due to fire being under control, resources had to be reduced. Airport firefighters returned back to bay. The City's firefighters together with security firefighters continued with damping down operations.”
 
Challenges faced included the lack of fire hydrants in the area.
 
No casualties recorded on scene.
