Four Interwaste employees will be boarding a plane this morning (Saturday) to go and aid people in Knysna, which has been ravaged by fire.<\/p>\n
The team, Kyle Edwards, Chase Evans, Juan Dorfling and Natasha Willcocks, are excited to be able to offer assistance to those who need it.<\/p>
Kyle, Chase and Juan are all qualified industrial firefighters and all four employees have Level 3 first aid.<\/p>\n
Their flights have been sponsored by Travel by Arrangement and the team has pre-arranged with disaster management in Knysna to set them to work when they arrive.<\/p>
To add to this, the Industries East-based company has also held a collection among the staff and collected items which will be sent to Knysna via truck on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The community is welcome to drop off donations at the company, situated at 2 Brammer Street, before Wednesday to help fill the truck.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are grateful to our company for giving us the training so that we can use our skills to help people,\u201d said Willcocks.<\/p>\n
The GCN will speak to the intrepid team upon their return from Knysna to find out about their experience.<\/p>\n
