Firefighters were still battling three areas in Muizenberg where a fire broke out over the weekend, Cape Town Disaster Risk Management said on Tuesday.

"Firefighters worked throughout the night, they are on the ground battling three sectors at Chapman's Peak at the Hout Bay side, Tokai Forest and Noordhoek," spokeswoman Charlotte Powell said.

44 deg on my phone. Shudder to think how hot it is by the fires.

i cant even begin to imagine what it must be like to work in those conditions - the heat, the clothing, the ash etc.

perhaps one of the ice cream companies should consider sending a truck up there

Its been pretty incredible to see how people have rallied around to donate...they apparently have more than enough food/water etc...last i saw, an ice company had donated i think 200kg of ice and they were looking for people to donate containers for it all.
