Tumbleweed Posted September 21, 2011 Share I woke this morning to read on twitter that there was a fire at Groenies last night. Jeez, I hope they got it under control and none of the animals got hurt. Does anyone have more info on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squier Posted September 21, 2011 Share Aaah crap! And this just when everything started turning green. I really hope the damage is minimal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwashi Posted September 21, 2011 Share Did Fort Klapper kop on the MTB this morn, it seemed like it hit half of groenies, from the R21 locked wooden gate up, and between the onion hill mountain and R21.... Everything seems fine and under control, I'm sure the Zebs and Impi will have been fine, but worried about the kudu getting cornered in the woodlands....

Zaskar09 Posted September 21, 2011 Share It's probably part of their "system", they burnt the other half last year. It's good for the veld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivster Posted September 21, 2011 Share Was there this afternoon. Saw lots of animals here on the R21 side, including a Kudu. Didn't see the sables, but trust they are alright. I should mention I didn't go around to onion hill and the switch backs, so don't know the situation there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squier Posted September 22, 2011 Share I trust the animals are fine. From the photos it doesn't seem as if they would've gotten trapped in a corner somwhere. Animal instinct... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickc Posted September 22, 2011 Share Hopefully we will get some good rains soon and within no time you will not even know there was a fire there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiga Posted September 22, 2011 Share Did it seem like a controlled fire to you? My cycling buddy seemed to think it was, I should have asked the rangers, but didn't sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puncher Posted September 22, 2011 Share Did it seem like a controlled fire to you? Rode there this morning and was up on Onions and the ridge, it does look like a controlled fire. You could see definite burn lines along the edges where the fire has been started. It seems a bit late to be burning though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a bit late to be burning though? no i think its about the right time now, they burning some of the farms out here in the north, its just before the rains get here so that everything comes back greener and better.
