Due to windy and dry conditions, flare-ups continue to be reported at both sites.
The Little Brak/Hartenbos fire broke out near the railway line between these two areas on Saturday afternoon, 3 January.
On Monday afternoon, 5 January, a vegetation fire broke out on the farming land next to the N2. That fire was escalated to the Garden Route District Municipality’s fire services.

The Garden Route District Municipality said a counter-burn is currently being implemented on the farming land to clear dense vegetation, which had caused multiple flare-ups today due to strong winds.
