Date posted: March 19, 2015
A resident gave a (volunteer?) firefighter her gate key in case access to her property was needed, and has been unable to regain it. Anyone in the area perhaps holding an extra key, please let us know. (We’re also checking with the control centre.)
Flare ups
Date posted: March 17, 2015
We had a small fire above Beach road, between the houses and Chapman’s Peak drive this morning. It was spotted by a resident and put out by another. Seems it was caused by still smouldering roots and the change of wind direction. There have also been reports of a few flareups around De Goede Hoop estate and the old Kaolin mine last night.
We are asking residents to remain vigilant and to look up at the mountain if you are in the area. This morning’s incident was opposite the Milk Wood Forest above the properties on the northern side of Beach Road and below the drive.
Please phone 081 789 2769 or 082 652 7474 or call it in on Channel 8 if you have a radio.
Help needed
Date posted: March 6, 2015
We have had a few flareups this morning in the area between Chapmans Peak Drive and our houses. That is, on the Southern side of Chapman’s Peak drive.
We are asking residents in the Chapman’s Peak area to put on their boots and gloves and walk the perimeter of Chapman’s Peak Drive as well as the pine forest / verge to check for hotspots. You will need a spade to put out small pockets of heat. Come Up Millstone Close or park near the boom – one of the hotspots is just there. Also further west from there. Look for plumes of smoke and put them out! Take your cell phone and emergency numbers in case anything goes beyond your capability. Best to go in pairs or meet up with someone and stay with them. Call Patrick on 082 6527474 if you see something serious or something that is worrying you. These hotspots come and go, please wear good boots and watch where you stand. It might not be smoking when you first go past one but it might start on the way back. Pile earth on top of the spot.
