| Fire fighters put out the blaze at the Joe Slovo informal settlement near Langa last night |
The fire broke out just before sunset near Vangaurd Drive along the N2. Seven water tanks and six fire-engines were immediately dispatched to the scene, assisted by a helicopter that brought the flames under control quickly.
The fire was fanned by the South Easter but because of the quick response by Disaster and Risk Management it was soon brought under control. People in the area who spotted the fire removed their belongings from their shacks and put them on a nearby field.
Pillay says the cause of the fire is not known and no injuries have been reported. He says the homeless people will be accommodated at a local hall and blankets and food will be supplied. - SABC
