Slowbee Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Berry is that a photo from the current jonkershoek fire ?
NicoBoshoff Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Berry is that a photo from the current jonkershoek fire ?I strongly suspect that's just a stock photo. Saw Elana Meyer also tweet it.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I strongly suspect that's just a stock photo. Saw Elana Meyer also tweet it.It was uploaded to EWN 6 days ago (google image search) so it can in no possible way be related to the jonkers fire. Edit: looks like it was one of the muizenberg fire pics. Earliest entry I can find is 6 days ago, according to Google. Looks like it borders a copse of trees so it could be tokai or one of the other areas of south peninsula
Slowbee Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I strongly suspect that's just a stock photo. Saw Elana Meyer also tweet it.after all the pics that got mythbusted from the Tokai fire I just wanted to check.
droenn Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Just went for a run up behind Coetzenberg stadium. Very smoky and its all hanging over Stellies. Could hear choppers but no idea on status. No wind at the moment.
(Deon) Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 after all the pics that got mythbusted from the Tokai fire I just wanted to check.You'll see a lot of that now, especially in the 'trusted' media.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 You'll see a lot of that now, especially in the 'trusted' media.yeah, whose idea of "corroborated" is coming from 2 different twitfaces (nevermind they re-tweet the same original source) It's on Twitter! It MUST be true!

It MUST be true!Or when one news report quotes the other with slightly different facts. It's like broken telephone, only brokener!
FCH Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 One of the first choppers to get there yesterday, luckily the water is very close
Amberdrake Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 As much as I would like progress report I really dislike inaccurate news. Hype is for selling bicycles
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Or when one news report quotes the other with slightly different facts. It's like broken telephone, only brokener! or that FB post that I told you about, from a "senior" producer on eNCA who INSISTED that the manor house had burnt down on Tuesday evening, an hour after we left the plantation (when the fire was still up at level 2) K asked me, and I was like "huh!? Erm, NO!?" Response from said producer when being told that she was incorrect, and that her info was wrong - "I'm speaking with a senior Parks official now" - which essentially means she was on Tweeeeta. At that stage not even the guest house was in danger - that happened quite a few hours later.
Slowbee Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Just had two heli's go over the office and turn up the valley. Problem is there is a low cloud layer and the wind is starting to blow. Smoke in the valley, low cloud cover = no flying, just to dangerous. And with no homes being threatened they will hold back. Steep mountain sides will be terrible for the fire fighters. They will very much hold back. Just a read a news report that the fire line is a very long one. Well, lets hope that the wind is not in the valley
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 aiyeee... not good There goes my backup riding spot
