message: I've changed the link to Gardens to normal text, as the suburb of Gardens and the Garden article are unrelated. If anyone disagrees, change it. Crumpuppet 08:57, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I was driving home from work in Tygerburg at 5pm yesterday when I finally saw the magnitude of the blaze. The smoke covered the whole of the City Bowl and extended over the Cape Flats. The sun could be looked at with the naked eye as it came through the thick red smoke. Quite a frightening sight. ---TimK, Cape Town, SA.

message: Happened to stumble here via Pgk's talk page. Could someone have a look at NASA's Natural Hazards satellite archive to see if the images/event described in the links are related to this incident? If they are, might want to upload the satellite images. – Chacor 09:52, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Those photos actually show much bigger fires which were at about the same time, but in the countryside further away from Cape Town. - htonl 18:10, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I think this article should be merged back into the main Table Mountain article now that the hub-bub has died down. After almost a year there is nothing more interesting to say other than there was a fire and someone is being charged for it. The smaller details such as firefighters being given food and water can probably be left out. Remember, this is an encyclopedia, not a newspaper. Although those minute details were newsworthy at the time, readers don't come to an encyclopedia to find such detail. This article could be pared down to about two paragraphs and given a dedicated section in the Table Mountain article. Zunaid©® 14:15, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree -- WP:NOT paper, it doesn't really fit into Table Mountain (as the fire was also elsewhere - e.g. Lion's Head) and, besides, what harm do the details do? If somone doesn't care about them, they can choose not to read the article. In contrast, someone who *is* interested will find the details useful. Mikker (...) 19:22, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
