Minister Patricia de Lille, will tomorrow deliver the opening address at the fourth Pan African Burns Society Conference.
"Thousands of fires have already been fought by the provinces fire fighting services this summer and the Western Cape Department of Social Development has distributed thousands of hot meals, food parcels and blankets to the many in our province who have been affected."
"It is my belief that as is the case with all other social problems, we must put more and more resources into preventing fires and therefore burns and the other consequences of fires." says De Lille
