A fire on Friday night broke out on the lower slopes of Table Mountain, in Cape Town City of South Africa.

The City's fire chief Theo Layne said it was a large vegetation fire, adding that it poses no danger to property.

The fire was reportedly fanned by a strong south-easterly wind.

Scores of firefighters arrived he scene, battling the raging flames and helicopters water bombed in a bid to extinguish the fire.

Despite the strong south-easter that made the firefighters' task difficult, the large vegetation fire was at last brought under control.

Aside from aerial support, four fire engines, three water tankers and 60 firefighters had largely contained the fire by 10pm, which luckily didn't affect any residential areas.

City Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson Theo Layne said: "No property has been damaged, nor anyone injured."

He added that firefighters were busy with mopping-up operations.

Similar to the blaze that started on Lion's Head on Sunday and spread to Signal Hill, the blaze was caused by a cooking fire.

Layne said they had responded to the fire just after 6pm, which spread to the lower slopes of Table Mountain along Tafelberg Road.

A fire also broke out on Friday afternoon at a wetland in Rugby, near Paarden Eiland, which four fire engines, two water tankers and 60 firemen had to bring under control.
