BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
a) The National Disaster Management Centre (NDMC) interacted with all Provincial COGTAs through their Head of Department offices requesting them to facilitate, collate and consolidate information regarding this Parliamentary Question (PQ). Accordingly, the NDMC developed a generic template, in line with the PQ and its sub-elements in order to facilitate packaging of responses by the municipalities through their respective Provincial Disaster Management Centres (PDMCs).
b) The NDMC has interacted with all provincial COGTAs on numerous occasions regarding the submission of the required information and only five (5) provinces i.e. Gauteng, North West, Western Cape, KwaZulu Natal and Eastern Cape (to some extent) submitted comprehensive reports in this regard. The other provinces submitted information with gaps from districts that did not submit the required information.
c) The NDMC has noted that the provinces i.e. Free State, Northern Cape, Limpopo and Mpumalanga without dedicated and fulltime capacity for the coordination of Fire Services struggled to provide comprehensive reports. The NDMC is concerned about effects of the weak institutional capacity in these provinces on effective national coordination of fire services work and on the provision of support to municipalities respectively.
d) It is important to note that the PQ is somewhat vague as it refers to fire trucks rather than fire engines. In view of this, most municipalities have chosen to provide specifics about the various appliances (firefighting vehicles) that are at their disposal.
e) While the Firefighting function is performed by all the metros, there are some category B and C municipalities without the authority to render this service. This is in line with the adjustment of powers and functions provided for in section 85 of the Municipal Structures Act, 1998. Thus, some municipalities (either districts or locals) did not provide information as they are not authorised to render a function. The NDMC is confident that the approval of the White Paper on Fire Services will provide impetus for municipalities to build capacity to manage fire risks in their respective jurisdictions.
