A Fire Engine, at last

After much negotiation Barrydale is finally to acquire a fire engine and more firefighting equipment. The village has been extremely vulnerable over the years, relying on a portable water tank with a pump to fight fires. The BRA has managed to persuade the Overberg District Municipality to provide a re-serviced and equipped GMC 2000 litre fire engine with all the necessary equipment which will be sufficient for first line fire fighting whilst awaiting backup from Swellendam or Bredasdorp, depending on the severety of a local fire. We will also have between 15 and 20 reservists trained for Barrydale.
