Parts of St Francis Bay are being evacuated due to a runaway fire along Harbour Road.


Residents and holidaymakers up to Assissi Drive are being evacuated “as a matter of urgency”.


Kouga Municipality speaker Hattingh Bornman said 20 houses were damaged by the fire, but not burnt down.



He said no casualties had been reported.


"Anybody that’s still in the area must evacuate immediately to municipal building across the road from the Caltex garage," he said.


"We have deployed the helicopter that will assist and all available personnel have been asked to attend to the fire and hopefully we will have the fire under control shortly.


"The high winds are making it a bit difficult but firefighters are doing their best to get it under control as soon as possible."

No worries, they'll just rebuild their homes with thatched roofs again.

Crap - not again.

And to top it off I'm going to have to deal with an irate pre-teen who's supposed to be going to stay there tomorrow for a few days.
