They aren’t saying much either, so could just be the emotion stopping them. Without access to the road passing through Betty’s Bay, they can only see what we see in the news.
Slowbee Posted January 16, 2019 Author Posted January 16, 2019 Fire! Again. Sir Lowries and HH reserve. Wind pumping.
Slowbee Posted January 16, 2019 Author Posted January 16, 2019 Fire not in the village area but on the pass but in the reserve

Albatross Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 Fires in Overberg region (near Greyton) Greyton Firestorm almost results in major losses.
Slowbee Posted December 17, 2019 Author Posted December 17, 2019 I could just not commit with work today. There is a very fine line between brave and silly. Rumour has it, that with the winds today at over 40km/hr, when flying should have been called off, he carried on. To save those houses he put it all on the line, literally and figuratively. But many homes were saved because of him and the teams he supported. My one friend said it was the closest he has ever come to a true firestorm, it was sheer outright chaos. And just before Christmas ..... many business's were affected, let alone accommodation for guests. Wannabe, Eddy Gordo and Albatross 3

Speaking of which, I hope no lives were lost.Social Media is just full of it, so I don't even know where to start linking. Edit: I see that it's on the 'Hot off the Press' thread.
