Although there has been no official opening and while contractors are still on site putting finishing touches to it, the Umkomaas fire station is ready for business.

Four shifts of officials are already deployed at the new fire station located at 153 MacLean Street since its opening on 6 February.
Umkomaas and surrounding areas were previously serviced from Amanzimtoti, but delayed reaction time due to the distance and the rapid urbanisation of the area necessitated a new and more centrally-located fire station to serve the surrounds.
The station is linked to the eThekwini emergency services call centre on 031-361-0000.
