A MILESTONE FOR BUFFELSFONTEIN VILLAGE

A significant safety milestone for ABCA as the first Fire Evacuation Site Plan since the Village was built in the late 1970s has been installed, thanks to the support and collaboration of Bay Fire, Wacky Designs, and Pick n Pay Walmer Park.

Board installed

Buffelsfontein Village has taken an important step towards enhancing the safety and preparedness of our residents with the installation of an Emergency Escape & Fire Evacuation Site Plan.

ABCA has worked closely with Bay Fire Port Elizabeth/GQ, Shelley Donaldson, Marketing Manager, and the team to make this important safety initiative a reality

This is the first Fire Evacuation Site Plan to be erected at Buffelsfontein Village since the Village was built in the late 1970s, making this a truly significant milestone for ABCA and our community.

Having a clear and visible evacuation plan will help provide residents, staff and emergency personnel with essential guidance in the event of an emergency.

A heartfelt thank you to Anushka and the team at Wacky Designs for the meticulous work in printing and producing the board for us. We are also incredibly grateful to Maritsa, Diane & Khanya from Pick n Pay Walmer Park Marketing Division for coming on board as sponsors of the board and supporting this important safety initiative.

This project is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when community organisations, businesses and emergency services work together to make a meaningful difference.

Together, we are helping make Buffelsfontein Village a safer place for our elderly residents.
