Cape Town firefighters are
continuing to try and contain a fire which started in Muizenberg and has not
spread to Hout Bay.
Additional firefighters have
been deployed to Cape Town as roads including Chapman’s Peak Drive have been
closed.
An old age home and certain
homes based on the fire line have also been evacuated.
City of Cape Town’s Fire and
Rescue Spokesperson Theo Layne said at the moment we still have the fire
heading towards Hout Bay but also a section of it has gone over to Constantia’s
neck side Tokai forest to be exact.
Layne said what has happened
now is that we have had to redeploy some of the vehicles to that area. We’ve
also requested that all the helicopters on the scene go to the area of the fire
and water bomb that section.
