Anesca Roodt, a spokesperson for the municipality's fire services, stated that the flare-up, reported on Saturday, has been successfully contained. Roodt informed that firefighting crews are still stationed at the scene, performing mopping-up operations to ensure no re-ignition occurs. The fire was initially reported on Friday afternoon and was extinguished early Saturday morning. However, warm temperatures and strong winds throughout the day led to a flare-up on Saturday afternoon, necessitating an immediate response from the fire crews. Roodt emphasized that the flare-up was swiftly brought under control late Saturday evening.",
