The Western Cape Fire Services this
afternoon responded to a vegetation fire between Camps Bay Hout Bay
The
team had difficulty controlling the fire due to the strong winds. On Monday the provincial government launched
its fire season which begins on the 1st of December to the end of
April.
In 2010 fire response teams managed to stop
75% fires in the first hour.
Fire and Rescue Spokesperson Theo Layne said
they had three helicopters and two fire engines as well as Table Mountain Parks
personnel on the scene.
“The cause of the fire is unknown at this
stage, the fire is under control at the moment and we will be doing patrol to
ensure that the fire is completely extinguished,” Layne added.
