The cool, dry winters in Jo'burg lead to regular veld (or grass) fires. They're not really dangerous, but produce a lot of smoke. Today there was a big veld fire on the ridge above Giloolys Farm (the Harvey Nature Reserve), close to where I'm living. I saw it from the freeway, went home to get my camera and went back to take these photographs. The Erukhuleni Fire Brigade arrived at some stage and waged war on it with a garden-hose mounted on a big red bakkie.
