Western Cape firefighters are monitoring Hermanus and Stanford after a vegetation fire in those areas earlier this week.

It took firefighters hours before they could completely extinguish the fire.

Authorities believe the blaze could flare up despite bringing it under.

The fire was being fuelled by strong winds and sweltering temperatures from a heat wave.

Several water tankers and helicopters were used in the area as the fire department battled to extinguish the flames.
