Our Mission
Atlantic Fire Services is a volunteer Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) registered as a Non-Profit Company (NPC). At Atlantic Fire Services, our mission is to safeguard lives and property through community education, fire prevention and fire awareness training in informal settlements.
Our Vision
We aim to build stronger, safer, and more resilient communities—starting with our youth, our environment and our shared values. Through active engagement, education and collective effort, we aim to create lasting positive change across the Western Cape.
Satellite Fire Stations
Our satellite fire stations are strategically located mini-stations established within informal settlements to enhance emergency response capabilities. Their primary purpose is to reduce response times by placing trained volunteers and essential equipment closer to high-risk or underserved areas.
Fire & Rescue
Coordinated efforts in disaster management, emergency response, and recovery to support communities through natural and human caused emergencies.
School Outreach Programs
Public awareness programs, fire safety training and inspections to reduce fire risks and increase preparedness.
Fruit For Kids
Atlantic Fire Services supports local communities by leading food outreach programs that provide essential nourishment and food security for those in need.
Skills Development Program
Our skills program gives children the opportunity to train and work alongside experienced tradesmen, gaining practical experience in building, gardening, vehicle maintenance and fire fighting.
Tactical Support Units
These units safeguard our firefighting, medical and outreach teams, allowing them to carry out their duties without compromise. Whether responding to emergencies in volatile areas or delivering aid where safety cannot be guaranteed, our Tactical Support Units ensure our team can operate with confidence, focus, and protection.
Vehicles & Equipment
At the core of AFS is a fleet of specialized vehicles and high-performance equipment, purpose-built for rapid and effective action in emergency situations. Our NPO operates with a range of vehicles including 4×4 rapid intervention units and water tankers with high-capacity pumps—each designed to navigate difficult terrain and access remote fire zones quickly.
