Forest fire in Cape Town

There was a big forest fire in Cape Town today, on the butt of the Lion that forms Lion's Head.
We could see the fire from our balcony, and the four helicopters dumping water on it filled up at a dam just behind our house. So we had the soundtrack of a Vietnam film going on over here.
The wind is very strong today, which didn't make it easier for the firefighters.
