A FIRE broke out in the mountains above Cape Town’s plush Llandudno suburb on Wednesday afternoon, but was quickly bought under control. About six hectares of mountainside was burnt in the Suikerbossie area, but no property was threatened and all roads remained open, South Peninsula nunicipality officials said. Three helicopters were used to waterbomb the flames, which were fanned by a strong south-westerly wind. A series of runaway fires have wreaked havoc in the Western Cape over the past few weeks, and caused billions of rands damage. On Saturday 132 cars were gutted when a fire swept through a parking lot.
