# The Cape Winelands District Municipality’s Fire Services has made progress in containing the Cogmanskloof fire above Ashton and Montagu. The fire started in the veld above Zolani last Thursday afternoon, initially spreading into CapeNature-managed land on the mountain peaks. It then spread along the ridge and onto the Montagu side of the mountains. The municipality’s Jo-Anne Otto says the fire line above Montagu Hospital has been successfully contained, and mopping-up operations are underway:
