Why should landowners join a FPA?

Removing the presumption of negligence simply by being a member of an FPA provides a compelling reason to join an FPA. It is for this reason that insurance companies will often grant a rebate on premiums for those who are members of FPAs.

Added to that, landowners have to comply with the National Veld and Forest Fire Act whether they belong to an FPA or not.

FPAs help their members to fulfil their legal responsibilities by providing advice and guidance on how to reduce the wildfire risk. FPAs also help members by coordinating activities before, during, and after fires, and over the period of the fire season.
