CAPE TOWN - Cape Winelands District fire crews continue to monitor a blaze in the De Wet area outside Worcester.
Officials say the fire currently burning in the high and inaccessible peaks and gullies of the mountains above farms is being fuelled by a combination of strong winds and aged veld.
The Cape Winelands District Municipality's Jo-Anne Otto: "Crews were successful in preventing damage to structures, and no damage to crops has been reported. Ground crews were recalled late last night; however, they will return this morning to continue monitoring and mopping up activities where required. Due to the continuing strong wind, aerial resources will not be deployed."
