Monday morning just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse, CBD residents are on high alert as strong winds have picked up and spreading the fire like crazy. Over 200 fire fighters have been fighting the Table Mountain fire since Sunday. Fire Fighters from Table Mountain National Park, Wildfire Services, CBD have been working around the clock.
“The fire has now spread towards the Vredehoek area as a result of the south-easter. Fire crews are now stationed at the Pepper Tree and Chelmsford area. This day ahead will be very challenging for our firefighters and EMS personnel,” it said.
