Residents in Amalinda had to use their own hose pipes and buckets of water to put out a veld fire that threatened at least three families.

They claimed that the BCM fire department took about an hour to respond to their calls for help.
While no one was injured, the fire put the metro’s fire fighting capabilities and response time to question.
