FIRE !!!

Is this not HORRIFIC?!! The fire started at about 9.30 at night on a vacant lot below Rhodes Memorial. By 1am people were being evacuated from their homes, fearing for their lives and the survival of the buildings. The strong south easter wind did not help. It fanned the flames till is was licking the very top of the mountain. You can just imagine the smoke damage across the whole city!
Fortunately, no buildings were lost to the fire, but lots of questions are still unanswered. It makes me furious to see someone careless about where that burning cigarette butt lands when they flick it out the window. They may think it looks cool, but if they love smoking so much, why don't they take the remains home with them and dispose of it in a safe way. Another factor was that the landlord of the vacant private property where the fire started, had been asked to clear it. So who know who is to blame at this point...
I am thinking of all the animals that probably perished in that fire ... :( We saw lots of buck and zebra next to Rhodes Memorial and there must be tons of dassies and other little animals as well as birds. Very sad. Lost forever ...
I now want to go and walk up Table Mountain, to be close to those rocks, to feel her under my feet, to stare up at the majesty of her! Soon, one day soon.
