Protect-O-Burn invested in the well-being of the community by donating Bakkie Fire Fighting units to Alf Bylevelt from Jelane and The Bulletin.
These units will help in fighting house fires, vehicle fires and veldt fires.
“Thank you to Protect-O-Burn for this investment into the community’s well-being,” said Alf, “we can now continue to serve and protect the community as we are mostly the first on a scene.”
Protect-O-Burn began with small fire protection projects that could be built where it was previously believed to be impossible to do so. Recognizing the simplicity and efficacy of a vehicle equipped with SEFFF, they initially outsourced the building of fire engines and emergency response vehicles equipped with the company’s innovative foam and began supplying emergency response units to local government and private industry.

Protect o Burn was originally founded in 2006 by Jaco Du Plessis. Due to the lack of effectivity of conventional firefighting foam at that time and to this day, the pioneers of Protect-O-Burn developed a unique, premanufactured, fully aspirated firefighting foam. In close cooperation with some of the Southern Hemisphere’s best fire engineers, we have what is now known as Protect Self Expanding Fire Fighting Foam (SEFFF).
For 3 years they developed the foam and a business plan and finally registered the Protect Burn Company in 2006, with 2 trademarks, 2 patents and unique products that were already beginning to gather interest from industry heavyweights such as Sasol before it was even launched.
In 2010, as the company continued to grow, they then met Dr. Istavan Szocs, who had developed a unique firefighting system for tank farm fire protection, negotiated and concluded the purchase of the patent and trademarks for his revolutionary EN Certified Foam Fatale system.
In 2017 Paul Van der Walt took ownership of the company after founder Jaco Du Plessis immigrated to North America. As owner and managing director Paul Van der Walt has taken the company to even greater heights and continues to do so till this day.
Thank you to Protecto-O-Burn for your contribution.
