I can't find anything online but the wife of Scott Van Zyl of SS Pro Safaris said about 40 homes have been destroyed. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10206540611907970&set=pcb.10206540631668464&type=3&theater very hot dry conditions making things very bad

thoughts and prayers for those affected

The fires in the Waterberg have been extreme these last couple of weeks. Some of our PH's have been quite involved in getting them under control: http://www.phsafaris.com/blog/protecting-our-concessions

Those fires really destroyed quite a bit of land. They say if theres smoke there's a fire. If you see smoke you literally let everyone know in the surrounds. Once that wind flares up theres no stopping that bad boy.

Some Pictures I took whilst helping Game farmers is the area. The fire started on Tuesday in a rural area and we managed to stop the main line on Saturday with a total destruction of 50 000ha (123 553 Arce's). At least no homes were lost during this fire. We are expecting the first rains soon, that will give some relief to the farms that lost all their grazing.

I hope you get some great rain this year. Nothing worse than a fire in the brush when it's dry...... Bruce
