Firefighters battle Cape veld fires
Cape Town - Firefighters from the Free State were called in on Thursday to help contain veld fires spreading in the Cape Winelands and the Boland districts, Working on Fire (WoF) said.
"Runaway wildfires, fanned by strong winds, have kept WoF firefighters, and firefighters from CapeNature and district councils working day and night to prevent homes and farm properties from being razed," WoF spokesperson Leanne Mckrill said in a statement.
Wind speeds of more than 50km/h have hindered the fire fighting operations.
