One thing people never seem to learn with this kind of veld fires is that a fire is only fully under control when there is no smoke…
Chicken farms are safe (for the moment; one never knows if the wind will turn or not). Road between Stanford and Gansbaai closed (with ‘lucky’ intervals) because of smoke and jumping fire crossing the road.
Great job of local fire fighters and their volunteers added with local farmers and their staff and many, many other volunteers. Hats of for the chopper pilots!!!
