Cape Town Table Mountain wildfire rages on in South Africa

A wildfire on the slopes of South Africa’s Table Mountain forced University of Cape Town students to evacuate on Sunday as runaway flames set several campus buildings ablaze and firefighters used helicopters to water-bomb the area. One firefighter sustained burn wounds and was hospitalized for treatment, officials said. The fire started early on Sunday near a memorial to politician Cecil Rhodes, located on Devils Peak, another part of Cape Town’s mountainous backdrop, before spreading rapidly up the slopes.
