Cape Town - The City of Cape Town said it will determine today the cost of damage caused by a fire that burnt down the South Strand Library on Saturday morning.
Mayco member for community safety and health Zahid Badroodien said the City s fire crew from Strand received a call at 5.37am and crews from Somerset West and Sir Lowry s Pass were dispatched. He said the first arriving officer informed the control that the building was alight and the fire was extinguished at 8.02am.
Badroodien said there was currently limited information on the incident as the City was waiting for the fire report to be issued once the inspection was completed.

A fire gutted the Southern Strand library in Cape Town on Saturday, destroying rows of books which students and residents rely on.
All that remained were pieces of mangled metal, glass and a carpet of blackened remains of the library s collection.
The skeletons of chairs lay askew in the thick pile of destroyed books. The damage to the facility is devastating and will leave hundreds of regular users of the facility stranded, while we urgently look to initiate the process of having services restored, said City of Cape Town councillor Zahid Badroodien after a site visit, in a statement on Twitter.
