South Africa: Fire Breaks Out On Table Mountain, Prompting Road Closures 3

A fire broke out in Newlands Ravine on Sunday, February 23. The flames spread quickly to other parts of Table Mountain and moved to Cape Town’s central business district due to strong winds. The flame prompted road closures in the nearby area. There are no reports of injuries at the time of writing. This video shows the firefighting operation by a helicopter on the Newlands fire.

(240514) -- DONGCHUAN, May 14, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Researchers Li Xiaoyu (R) and Wei Li maintain experimental devices and collect data at the Jiangjiagou ravine in Dongchuan District of Kunming, southwest China's Yunnan Province, May 7, 2024. The Jiangjiagou ravine, located in the Xiaojiang River Basin, was a frequent landslide occurring area. In 1961, an observation and research station of debris flows, known as Dongchuan Station, was established in Jiangjiagou area. Since then, several generations of researchers have observed and studied debris flows, and established a comprehensive disaster reduction model of "stabilizing, blocking and draining", which has laid the foundation of debris flow science in China. A large-scale dynamic simulation experiment platform for mountain disaster was recently put into use in Dongchuan Station. The completion of this scientific device will reveal the natural law of debris flow outbreak, tackle the problems on prevention and control, and reduce the harm on human. (Xinhua
