Fire at Devils Peak
According to Jermaine Carelse, a spokesman for the City of Cape Town’s Fire and Rescue Services, a number of resources had been sent in, and in addition to fighting the fire’s spread and severity, firefighters also had to deal with extremely strong winds.
According to Carlese, an issue Management Team has been assigned to offer coordination and guarantee the containment of the issue. He claimed that teams from Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) were supporting the Devil’s Peak side of the firefighting activities.
“Philip Kgosana Drive inbound has been blocked until further notice due to this event. As of right now, nothing has been damaged to property, and the situation is quite unstable.
Factory Fire
Three laborers lost their lives in a furniture manufacturing fire earlier this month in Missionlands, KwaZulu-Natal. Five other people leaped out of windows on the building’s top story, fleeing the blazing inferno.
After arriving, firefighters fought the fire for several hours. When the families of the factory workers searched for their missing loved ones who had not come home from work, they were horrified.
When the search group looked through a window of the destroyed structure and saw what appeared to be skeleton remains, they called Reaction Unit SA (Rusa) for aid.
According to Rusa, “reaction officers and paramedics were dispatched immediately and upon arrival confirmed the discovery to be human remains.”
The relatives claim that at approximately 11 p.m., nine nationals of Malawi were working at night when the fire started.
