Oh yeah, fire can be really scary Hannes and when it comes close, one can only grab a few things and run. So many here have lost their entire homes, cars and everything that they have ever owned.
There was a devastating fire near Plettenberg Bay a few years (June 2017) ago and many very expensive mansions were burnt to ashes.
I posted about it at the time.
The rain thankfully restores the homes of the animals, those that do not die in the rushing flames, but sadly human life can never be restored.
I just wish that people would take more care when they build fires in nature. Especially here where the high winds can change direction in a matter of seconds.
Cheers and thanks!
