Garden Route Fire Aftermath via helicopter – Elle Photography
On the fateful day of 7th June 2017 a set of circumstances triggered a disastrous wildfire of unprecedented proportions throughout the Sedgefield-Knysna-Plettenberg Bay area.
Not only were vast areas of commercial plantations consumed, but lives were lost, and damage caused to properties and infrastructure ran into billions of rands.
This was probably the biggest fire disaster in South Africa to have been seen in modern times, with over 1 000 fire fighting personnel from all over the country deployed to combat it.
The photographs were taken on the 22nd June 2017 by Elmarie Elle Redman who had the amazing opportunity to go up in a helicopter to photograph.
The area stretches from Plettenberg Bay, Knysna to Buffelsbay.
