NicoBoshoff Posted March 9, 2015 Share Bennet Nel's updates seem to suggest its further in beyond Neverending and not threatening the trails. Yet. Who knows now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dev null Posted March 9, 2015 Share The problem is they can't just let it go. Tomorrow the SE will be blowing quite briskly, and then they will have problems. It could burn right through Helshoogte and Pniel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could burn right through Helshoogte and Pniel.Without the heli drops they can't really get close enough to extinguish the flame cos it's just too hot... Small pockets, yes but not the full front. That's why they have to stand back at night in most cases. Especially in a plantation where the heat gets super high. Open fynbos is slughtly different cos It's also more accessible.

Shebeen Posted March 9, 2015 Share Just a thought I had, wasn't there a fire in the Grabouw area as well when Tokai etc was ablaze? Was it also near the MTB trails? Don't want to start any conspiracy theories, just wondering.if it really is anti mtb arsonist, then his plan of burning tokai by lighting in muizenberg is like getting someone pregnant by using twitter (and a lot of tweets) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
