If I am using concrete with fiber additive, do I still need rebar?

It is a 10' x 12' slab that will support walls on two sides. As I am in the South, I plan on a 12" x 12" footer on those two sides. I wasn't planning on using wire mesh with the fiber additive, but thought the rebar would still be a good idea. True?


Answer:
In the footing would to a great idea, continuous horizontals and stirrups [] size of bar needed depends on weight to be supported by walls. If it is a very light weight structure eliminate the stirrups.
