Fires burning in the Sabie area ( 6 + 7 August 2012 )

Thanks to Crisjan van Aardt for keeping the SAWDOS informed via Twitter as to the fires currently burning in the Sabie area. Crisjan indicated that the fires were driven by strong wind and that it is still burning this morning. Helicopters out early this morning to fight the fires. Bad news is that strong wind can be expected today.
