A wildfire near Melkhoutfontein, close to Still Bay, was successfully contained, on Wednesday evening.
But firefighters continue mopping up throughout the night, to douse hotspots and prevent possible flare-ups.
Deon Stoffels, Garden Route District Municipality’s Fire Chief, said the fire was burning intensely at alien invasive plants.
He also said that line of fire would be controlled by a water bomber.
Teams also assessed fire breaks.
