Firefighters are expected to spend at least a week or two monitoring the areas ravaged by fires on the South Peninsula.
The fire started in Muizenberg on Sunday and has since spread to other areas.
Theo Layne of Cape Town's Fire Services says "there's a strong possibility that they will still be here until Friday."
He said even if there's no flames or smoke they will be monitoring the entire fire area for at least a week or two because "fires like this they kind of burn deep-seated and when the winds picks up it blows open the top ground resulting in embers then being blown onto unburnt areas causing what we call spotting."
Meanwhile, more than 2000 people have been helping to quell the fire in Muizenberg, Cape Town that broke out over the weekend.
The Department of Environmental Affairs says this figure includes 150 members of the department's Working on Fire programme.
Fifty more people from Volunteer Wildfires Services and further 250 Workig On Fire firefighters have also been dispatched from other provinces to join the effort.
A total of 26 aircraft had been in the air since Sunday.
