It took a while but
... finally the fire engine reached the MgM
Camp in Ondjiva, Angola. Private donations
and the very helpful support of the transport
agency MACS made it possible.
The MgM chief of mechanics has been trained
already by two young Germans - fire fighters
themselves - at the Windhoek Machine Fabrik,
Namibia. They volunteered to give a detailed
instruction of its use an maintenance. They
will repeat the lesson for the whole MgM Crew
in Ondjiva, Angola in July.
Two water pools with connections and a water
tower together with a garage for the vehicle
are under construction.
Though the fire engine is mainly meant to
play a role in MgM‘s mine clearance operations
it will be at the service for the local population
in any case of serious fire alarm.
MgM and the people of Ondjiva thank everybody
who supported the project with money or any
activity.
Stay in tune, we will report more in the
near future....
