The current transition in national wildfire management has created real uncertainty in on-the-ground fire protection coverage this season. Getting your own staff trained and ready is the difference between managed risk and exposed risk.
We offer direct, practical fire compliance support for individual landowners, lodges, and new farmers who need last-minute help getting their staff trained and ready before the fire season — ideal for properties bordering veld or forest land, and for those preparing for insurance renewals or upcoming risk reviews.
A full on-site fire compliance assessment conducted by a Qualified Scene Commander, covering:
Farmers and rural landowners work with fire day by day — veld fires, block burns, firebreaks — in a way most workplaces never do. This one-day, hands-on course is delivered on your own premises, using your own equipment, for landowners, staff, farmworkers, or community teams. The course covers:
Practical burn exercises are conducted only where weather conditions and an official burn permit allow. Equipment and site remain the responsibility of the landowner.
Ryan Marsden is an experienced FPA Chairman (Rietlaagte FPA) and Qualified Scene Commander who has trained community members and farm staff across the region.
