Firefighters are still battling to contain a vegetation fire that broke out in Klipfontein near Stillbay on Sunday, 15 Jan. 2017. The fire is currently out of control and aerial support has been calling in to prevent the fire spreading into the Vermaaklikheid area.
Firefighters for Hessequa Municipality, Eden Districts Municipality and Working on Fire are battling the flames but strong winds are again fanning the flames. The weather is not making it any easier, the hot and windy conditions are making firefighting extremely difficult.
No injuries of road closures has been reported.
