Thank you to Enviro Wildfire for the generous donation of a Water/Firefighting pump to Station 26 Kommetjie. Not only can the pump be used for onboard fires at sea, or to suction water out of a sinking vessel, but it can also help with fires in the community. It will be a great asset to the Kommetjie Sea Rescue volunteers!
From left to right, Dave Smith, Rob Erasmus, and Mark Knight with the new pump.
