Three people were left displaced by a fire that had broken out at a flat in Strand in the early hours of Monday morning (2 December).
According to Jermaine Carelse, spokesperson for the City of Cape Town’s Fire and Rescue Service, firefighting crews responded to the incident after an emergency call was received around 00:50 of a flat alight at Savanna Mews in Gulden Crescent.
“Firefighters from Strand and Sir Lowry’s Pass Fire Station were on the scene fast enough and found a vehicle in the garage well-alight, with the fire spreading to the flat,” said Carelse.
“By 02:00 firefighters managed to extinguish the blaze that severely damaged the flat and destroyed the vehicle. A woman was treated by paramedics for smoke inhalation.
“The cause of the incident is unknown and three people were displaced.”
