National Fire Services Indaba 2026
|
|
The National Fire Services Indaba is scheduled to take place from 26 to 27 February 2026 at the President Hotel, Bloemfontein in the Free State.
While the Indaba will address several topical issues related to the provision of fire service at large, below are the key thematic areas that will be covered:
• Fire services legislative mandate to three spheres of government
• Compliance with municipal staff regulation on the appointments in the fire services
• Integrated fire management: A collaboration in veldfire risk reduction
• Funding and prioritization of fire services by all three spheres of government
• Implementation of National Building Regulations; Inspections and scrutinising of building plans
• Paradigm shift in Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), towards fire safety and prevention in the informal settlement (fire and smoke detectors, fire alarm and fireball).
• Fire Safety focusing on the promotion of rational designs and compliance with South African National Standards (10400).
• A mandate-based national collaborative model for disaster risk management and fire services between the public and private sectors.
We are currently calling for papers to be presented at the Indaba; interested parties may submit a short abstract (max 300 words) with their name, organisation and contact details by 12 December 2025 to [email protected] The registration link for the Indaba is as follows: https://forms.office.com/r/wgcXgwn8PC?origin=lprLink
