Slowbee Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 it started this afternoon just after 14H00. as long as the wind does not blow they should get it done. But if it comes over the mountain like last time ... fun and games again.
droenn Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 OK got info that its in newer plantation near where the fynbos starts (near never ending/ Ellioti). Where last fire went through. No confirmation of this yet. See planes going over though
(Deon) Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Yes, it is. Sh** hope they get it contained before nightfall. When aerial support leaves, the progress from the day is usually lost. The wind needs to play along now. It didn't in Tokai!!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Nooooo! The VWS guys are certainly being worked hard at the moment! Flip this sucks
Super_mil Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 NOOOOOOO!!! I am coming to sample Cape riding (and Jonkers in particular) on Thursday/Friday.
Surv0MTB Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Oh ****... More arson? Hope they can contain it, if Jonkers goes, I am screwed. May as well trade my mtb in for a roadie.

LazyTrailRider Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 F.F.S. This just doesn't feel like coincidence....
Johny Bravo Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 https://twitter.com/NicLeMaitre/status/574942427213099008That looks scary. Doesnt look good at all, and its scorching hot in the Winelands, 35 plus degrees. Can we please have some RAIN in the Cape, please.
dev null Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 No wind today, but some SE tomorrow predicted. Hope they sort it out quickly, although I don't hear any choppers from Strand side.
Louzy Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 just heard on Cape talk that there are 80 firefighters on the scene therefore they say it is a big one...
droenn Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I saw the guys working on clearing the roadside veg up there last week. There are fire breaks and its not like they haven't dealt with it before. Good luck to them, I'm hopeful they can get it under control.. and I prefer to stay positive right now!
