Die vuur brand op berggrond van Sarah\u2019s Farm, waar grondspanne reeds besig is om die vlamme te bekamp. Verdere spanlede is onderweg om bystand te verleen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intussen is \u2019n nuwe brand ook in die berge bo Lanquedoc aangemeld.

Volgens haar is die ho\u00eb brandstoflading weens digte, dro\u00eb en ononderhoude plantegroei \u2019n groot uitdaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIn sulke gevalle raak eiendomme eenvoudig onverdedigbaar, omdat brandbestryders nie veilig naby genoeg kan kom om huise te beskerm nie,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Die <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weathersa.co.za\/\">Suid-Afrikaanse Weerdiens<\/a> voorspel \u2019n baie warm somer met ondergemiddelde re\u00ebnval, en verskeie munisipaliteite het reeds waterbeperkings ingestel. Die dro\u00eb veld in gebiede naby plase en woonbuurte skep volgens haar \u2019n groot brandgevaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDit is nog nie te laat om brandbane te maak nie. Maak seker dat geute en slootjies skoon is, en snoei takke wat oor dakke of naby elektriese drade groei. Hierdie eenvoudige stappe kan help om huise en woonbuurte te beskerm as daar \u2019n brand uitbreek.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Von Schlicht het inwoners versoek om voorkomende maatre\u00ebls te
