Cape Town residents urged to prepare for a never-before-seen
In the wake of the devastating Devil’s Peak fire in April this year, community-environmental NPO, Parkscape, is raising the alarm for urban edge home-owners, encouraging them to become fire safe as we head into summer’s high fire season.
Parkscape says that while it has been pleased to see a number of fuel-reduction burns conducted by private landowners and SANParks over the winter months, the extent of invasive infestations and increased clearing activities in Table Mountain National Park means that a considerable amount of biomass fuel will remain in situ and will become tinder-dry as summer progresses.
