Cape Town – The Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) reported that firefighters were dispatched to Cape Town’s mountains after lightning strikes ignited fires on Saturday.
“TMNP has redeployed firefighting crews from the Cape of Good Hope main road fire to a fire currently situated above Skeleton Gorge and the Hely-Hutchinson Reservoir along the Back Table within the park.
“Firefighting crews and aerial resources have been deployed at first light this morning, providing crucial aerial support to contain and manage the fire effectively above Skeleton Gorge. Unfortunately, due to strong winds, aerial resources have stood down until it is deemed safe to conduct water bombing operations,” read a statement.
