# The City of Tshwane is urging residents to prioritise fire safety and comply fully with the winter no-burn regulations, as colder temperatures increase the risk of fires, injuries and loss of life. Winter historically sees a sharp increase in residential fires due to the widespread use of paraffin stoves, heaters, braziers and open flames. The metro is urging residents not to leave heating devices or open flames unattended, avoid overloading electrical plugs and connections, and report dangerous or unlawful burning activities immediately.
