R5 Million for new rescue service Saldanha Bay Municipality’s Executive Mayor, Alderman Marius Koen, today officiated the sod-turning, signifying the construction of the new R5 million Fire and Rescue Services precinct for the Saldanha Bay Municipal area. In his address, Alderman Koen said that public safety is a key priority and one of the objectives of the Municipality. He welcomed the new project and said the community would benefit immensely from this precinct. The Saldanha Bay Municipality Fire and Rescue Services precinct will be constructed at the Saldanha Airfield and is part of a broader plan to prioritise the safety of the community. Its central location will allow fire and rescue services personnel to be more accessible to the surrounding towns and at the same time, cut its emergency response times. The new two-story building will comprise of a reception area, control room, disaster management office, boardroom, offices for the fire chief and deputy fire chief, four bays to accommodate eight fire and rescue vehicles, a compressor room, store room, kitchen, bathrooms, male quarters (accommodates 8) and female quarters (accommodates 6) all with separate ablution facilities. Construction of the Saldanha Bay Municipality’s Fire and Rescue Services precinct is expected to commence in March 2019 and will take approximately nine months to complete.
