A firefighter in South Africa collapsed while working on a fire January 28 and later passed away in a hospital.
Candice (Ashley) Kruger was helping to suppress a wildfire on the lower slopes of Table Mountain. She was in her ninth year of working for the Fire and Rescue Service in Cape Town and was assigned to the Roeland Street Fire Station.
The City will assist the Kruger family with funeral arrangements and will also offer trauma counseling to her relatives and Platoon colleagues. The Fire and Rescue Service will also offer the family a full Brigade Funeral as Candice died while serving in the line of duty.
Our sincere condolences go out to her friends, family, and co-workers.
Rest easy sister we will hold the line from here
May she rest in piece .
