Fire Season

We are back into fire season.  Today we had a howling wind and two runaway fires in the district.  One was on a farm on the Drakensberg Gardens road.  Firebreaks were burned there yesterday and some logs were left smouldering.  The wind restarted the fire and it ran.  It has, after a couple of hours and a lot of help, been put under control.

On this side of the district one of our neighbouring farms had a fire in the mielie field.  Fortunately it did not run and was sorted out very quickly by responding farmers.

So, it's "here we go again" fire season.  Hopefully today is not the prelude to the terribly destructive fires we had last year.

Keep warm everyone.
