The fire is currently confined to a single block.
 
Overstrand Mayor Archie Klaas visited the scene on Thursday night and has thanked crews for their hard work.
 
"We say thank you so much to all the different teams that have come on board, the teams from Kleinmond, the private sector, the ambulance guys and everybody who came together to ensure that we manage this. It has been a very tight operation."
