Firefighters deployed to extinguish the fire on Paarl Mountain have successfully contained the blaze.The municipality deployed firefighters, choppers and fire vehicles to fight the blaze.Municipality spokesperson Jo-Anne Otto said the firefighting crews reported only a few flare-ups.
New24 reported earlier that the municipality said the fire, which started on Wednesday afternoon, affected both sides of the Jan Phillips Mountain Road along the slopes of Paarl Mountain. "There are no active flames on the fire line above the road, where three ground crews, two from NCC and one from Lewis Alien Clearing, will continue damping down, mopping up and monitoring throughout the night. The fire line running below the road still requires active firefighting and is proving more problematic as there is a high fuel load provided by alien vegetation," the municipality said earlier.
