Cape Town â Women at the forefront of battling the latest raging Table Mountain fire have attributed discipline, physical fitness and a strong mindset to getting them through the moments when they came face-to-face with danger.
The fire, which forced residents, UCT students, and nearby businesses to evacuate, is under control but still being monitored for flare-ups.
More than 150 firefighters and volunteers remained on the ground, as flames above Newlands Forest were still visible from Constantia yesterday morning.
Finishing her shift at 1am yesterday, Baigum Abrahams and her crew from the Mitchell s Plain Fire Station were dispatched to Philip Kgosana Drive, as the fire moved along Devilâs Peak on Monday.
