Run for the hills?

Still a bit of smoke, but looks like it's out now. I got the stupid FNB building blocking some of my view, so there could still be some smouldering patches behind there.
So someone made a signal on a place called Signal Hill? Hardly newsworthy.

My common sense is tingling.
Damn - another one. Bit to the left this time.
Houses not in danger, YET, but this one looks more serious. Not as acessible as the previous fire.
Helicopters back on scene thank goodness.
Yeah, this one is huge and really close to a few houses...

Got 4 choppers on duty now, bombing the fire with water. Seems they trying to prevent it from spreading to the houses below.
Unfortunately didn't bring my camera to work so no pics.
A fixed wing aircraft has joined the fray, and is also dropping something on the fire - still a way to go but looks like they are getting it under control now.
WELL DONE GUYS!!!
