\u2019n Brand het Maandagaand \u2019n restaurant by die Port St. Francis-hawe in puin gel\u00ea en nog twee kantore beskadig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die brand het glo omstreeks 23:00 by die Indigo Moon-restaurant ontstaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johan Hartwig (61), \u2019n inwoner van die gewilde Oos-Kaapse vakansiedorp wat sowat 400 mvan die hawe woon, s\u00ea toe hy op die to-neel aankom, was die restaurant reeds in ligte laaie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie brand het die restaurant verwoes. Al waaraan ek toe kon dink, is om die kantore te probeer red waar my vrou (Martie) werk,\u201d s\u00ea Hartwig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Balobi-vismaatskappy se kantore is sowat 10m van die restaurant in dieselfde gebou by die hawe gele\u00eb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie brand het in die dak versprei en ek het geweet as ons nie dadelik probeer keer nie, sal die vlamme by Balobi se kantore ingaan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hartwig en \u2019n ou skoolvriend wat by hom gekuier het, het \u2019n brandslang in die gang gegryp en die vlamme probeer blus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea brandbestryders het sowat \u2019n halfuur later opgedaag. Teen di\u00e9 tyd was verskeie inwoners en sakelui van die dorp reeds besig om teen die vlamme te veg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNatuurlik is daar nou baie waterskade in die kantore, maar ten minste het dit nie afgebrand nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johan Barnard, Port St. Francis se hawe-meester, s\u00ea geen hawestruktuur is in die brand beskadig nie en die Nasionale Seereddingsinstituut se kantoor is ook ongeskonde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea benewens die afgebrande restaurant is daar skade aan Balobi se kantore en \u2019n koffiewinkel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns is baie dankbaar vir elkeen se hulp en ook dat die vlamme nie verder versprei het nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hartwig s\u00ea dit is net God se genade dat Maandagaand se brand nie nog ander brande ook veroorsaak het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie roet het tot by my huis gewaai. Hier is baie indringerbome wat binne \u2019n oogwink met \u2019n kooltjie aan die brand kan slaan. Ons is geneig om te dink ons kan alles op ons eie doen, maar dit is net genade,\u201d s\u00ea Hartwig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Laura-Leigh Randall, woordvoerder van die Kouga-munisipaliteit, s\u00ea die brandweerdienste het omstreeks 23:30 op die brand gereageer. Die brand is om 01:30 geblus, waarna brandbestryders die gebou gemonitor het<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hoewel bespiegel word dat die brand weens beurtkrag ontstaan het, was brandbestryders Dinsdagoggend steeds op die toneel om die oorsaak van die brand te ondersoek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2019n Brand het Maandagaand \u2019n restaurant by die Port St. Francis-hawe in puin
