R8 Million Fire Station Facelift Complete

Earlier this week, Alderman JP Smith and Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis visited the Sea Point Fire Station to survey the recent upgrades to the facility.

The Station is one of the oldest in Cape Town and dates back to 1932

The total cost of the renovation project amounts to R7 861 597.09 over two financial years (2024 – 2025) and is 95 percent complete.

Some of the renovations to the main building included painting, roof replacement, tiling, updating electrical infrastucture, new gutters and repairs to cracks along the building facade.

During the planning and implementation stage, the conservation of the heritage status and architectural features were top of mind as the fire station is an important landmark in Sea Point.

‘Our Fire and Rescue Service has a long and proud history in Cape Town and we have the responsibility to maintain and preserve our Fire Station. Fire Stations are beacons of hope for our communities in times of emergencies and it is important for communities to know that they are well maintained and continue to provide services for those in need for generations to come,’ said Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security,’ Alderman Smith.

  1. Van der Merwe goes to Paris to watch the Boks take on the Brits at the world cup.

    Whilst in Paris, he walks around, gaping and staring at everything – so much so that he walks smack bang into a fire hydrant which hits him so hard on the family jewels that he has to be rushed to hospital where the doctors tell him they have to remove his testicles.

    Van goes berserk, he bites and snarls at every one and he won\’t let anybody within 10 metres of him. Eventually they find a South African doctor in the hospital and get him to talk to Van.

    He walks up to Van and tells him \”Hey Van, die ouens moet jou knaters uithaal.\”

    Van replies \”O, okay, ek dog die bliksems wil my test tickets vat.\”
