The Helderberg fire which destroyed 10 houses and a hotel in Somerwet West yesterday threatened to spread towards Stellenbosch.

Two helicopters joined the fire-fighting effort again today, after about 80 fire-fighters managed to bring it under control last night.

Cape Town Fire Services says they are doing everything possible to prevent the fire from reaching built-up areas again.
