The fire area was divided into two divisions to maximize efforts and stabilize the incident as quickly as possible. The blaze was extinguished at 09:20, with 35 structures destroyed, leaving 115 people displaced,” said Carelse.
On the attack of a firefighter, Carelse said:
“This is yet another senseless act by a member of the very
community we serve."
