CAPE FIRE - A COMPARISON

Cape Town authorities have estimated that 5,000 hectares have been affected by the fires that began on 1 March, stretching from the slopes of Muizenberg on the Indian Ocean side of the peninsula across and down to the Atlantic coastline on the Hout Bay side.

A rugby field is about one hectare, but it might be hard to imagine how big of an area 5,000 hectares is.
