Cape Town is on fire! Wildfire burst into town from Table Mountain, South Africa.

South African emergency workers have evacuated three 17-storey residential buildings overlooking Cape Town as a huge fire burns along Table Mountain. The blaze spread quickly after breaking out on Sunday morning near a memorial to politician Cecil Rhodes. A restaurant was destroyed. The University of Cape Town's historic library was also badly damaged. About 250 firefighters have been battling the blaze, which has been fanned by strong winds. Helicopters were used to water flames, but their work had been hampered by the conditions. South African National Parks said firefighters were alerted at 09:00 local time (07:00 GMT) on Sunday. The flames spread quickly because of the low humidity and dry bush. The fire created its own wind further increasing the rate of spread, it added, estimating that firefighters would need at least three days to control the blaze. The Table Mountain area is prone to fires because of its vegetation, but this is the first time it has engulfed the neighbouring university. City officials said a suspect had been detained amid speculation that new fires may have been started and the original fire was an act of arson. The emergency services have evacuated some residents from the upmarket suburb of Vredehoek, along the slopes of Table Mountain. Schools in the suburb have been also ordered to evacuate. Disa Park, which refers to three identical residential buildings close to the foot of Table Mountain, has also been evacuated. The nearby University of Cape Town has also been shut and about 4,000 students evacuated.
