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.
