Fire on Table Mountain under control


 Emergency officials are monitoring the situation on Table Mountain, after a fire broke-out in Table Mountain National Park in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Firefighters managed to extinguish the blaze which destroyed more than a square kilometre of vegetation.

However, authorities fear strong south-easterly winds could ignite another fire.

Municipal spokesperson Kylie Hattingh says they had to evacuate residents and holiday-makers from 25 homes, near the park.

She says more than 20 fire trucks responded to the fire.
