Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

Based on the severity of the fires, I think the mountain actually did quite well to be honest. I’m pretty sure with all this rain, that the next gap of sunlight will be soaked up quickly and the fynbos will burst through again :)

Good luck with your project!

sho, the info and the pics look soooo…. HECTIC! Woah.. sorry i’m doing a project on this subject and the info helped so much..but wow..even though its a couple months later, it all looks so scarey and devastating..pity that the mountain still looks bad but hopefully by summer it’ll be like it was.

Ye mate, I promise you, it was actually damn scary. We’ve had fires here before and all, but this one was just too close to home :/

I think all in all, it’s a good thing, as fynbos does require regrowth after x number of years. I think someone above actually explained it..

All is good now, thanks for asking bro!

Oh wow!

Sorry I am a joburger so can only see the pics… I feel for you capetonians. Soz that you having this fire and I hope no one loses anything.

In joburg we don’t have fires except the occasional taxi or bus cathing alight.

Actually in joburg we don’t have much except the smog – that comes standard.

Hope all is cool

There’s a large circular patch just above De Waal Drive that never burnt – someone put a huge smiley face on it :-), I saw it this morning, but the Table Mountain Law Enforcement removed it by lunch time. Any one get any pics?

I went up to Rhodes Memorial today, where the emergency crews were, and got a number of close ups of the action. I also managed to get some panoramas of the fire last night and this morning from my roof.

I discovered your blog/website by chance and I must CONGRATULATE and THANK YOU AND EVERYBODY for all the “alive” information you gave me through your “talkings”.
I’ve spoken to my daughterTONIGHT who studies in UCT and she also hopes the wind calms down tonight. They were VERY worried cause MCB Department and allover that side they have lots of gas and quite dangerous chemicals. She sent me 2 photos of the fires on that side. Where can I send them to you? Hope everybody be fine and sleeping peacefully. Please accept all my solidarity from Maputo/Mozambique!

Spent two weeks holiday at cape town, cannot believe the intensity of it all. What about all the wild life? And a huge thankyou to all the fire fighters.
