Firefighters & volunteers battle a blaze on the slopes of Signal Hill in Cape Town, South Africa. Strong summer winds & man’s negligence often lead to fires like these that rage in the Cape. Smokers are the main cause as they toss their cigarette butts still glowing into the endemic ‘Fynbos’ (plant life) that is only found in this part of the world. The dry & hot conditions mixed with the winds that blow make the Cape a fire hazard waiting to happen.
