    Last night saw firefighters battling a blaze on the iconic Signal Hill, with six vehicles called out to assist.

    The blaze started in the late afternoon, smoke billowing out across the city as Twitter did its thing and kept us up to speed.

    A few of those tweets below:

    The firefighters battled through the night, with these pictures below taken by Justin Sullivan for News24:

    A different perspective from an EWN tweet last night:

    Thankfully the fire was contained:

    Fire and Rescue Services’ Theo Layne says the blaze was brought under control late last night.

    “The fire that started up at Signal Hill last night was extinguished by 10pm and Table Mountain National Parks remained on scene to monitor the area throughout the night to make sure that no flare-ups occurred.”

    Well played firefighters, another big thanks from the whole Cape Town community.
