The Cape of Good Hope SPCA has stationed Inspectors at the site of the ongoing fire and at the Disaster Operation Centre in Goodwood forming part of the disaster risk management team.
“It is too dangerous for us to enter the area right now so we are monitoring the periphery for any animals fleeing the flames and we are deeply concerned for those who may be trapped in the inferno as well as the injured which we have been unable to reach,”- CAPESPCA.
