Winter is a season that brings extreme cold conditions which place significant stress on the human body.
It is also a time when vegetation dries up and becomes highly combustible.
Household fires and veld fires often occur during this season and are either caused deliberately, accidentally or spontaneously.
The raging blaze can consume your valuable property even before firefighters arrive.
