Newlands to honour firefighters

Cape Town - Over 500 firefighters, disaster management, medical and rescue workers will attend Saturday's Vodacom Super Rugby match between the Stormers and the Chiefs at Newlands, as WP Rugby pays tribute to some of the brave men and women who work tirelessly to fight fires in all regions and communities of the Western Cape.

Cape Town's South Peninsula was hit hard by blazing fires last week - highlighting the incredible bravery and hard work of our fire-fighters, disaster management, medical and rescue workers in our region.

The Stormers team chose to wear red armbands in last Saturday's game against the Sharks, as a small gesture towards the firefighters in the wake of the Cape Fires, but this week will see some of our heroes given a bigger platform at Newlands to thank them for their constant bravery and hard work.
