Abstract

Firefighters are working to extinguish a blaze that has spread across Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa, as finance ministers and central bank governors from the Group of 20 nations gather for a meeting. Helicopters are being used to dump water on the flames, which have moved towards the northern suburb of Vredehoek. South African National Parks has deployed all available resources to contain the fire and has expressed concern about hikers in closed-off areas. The G-20 meeting is scheduled to proceed as planned in a convention center that is not at risk from the fire. [Extracted from the article]
