Mountains in South Africa have been engulfed by a grass fire, leaving bright orange flames towering over the Cape Town skyline.
Residents at the foot of the 1,150-ft Signal Hill mountain have evacuated their homes while strong winds fanned the flames towards nearby 2,195-ft Lion's Head.
Volunteer Wildlife Service said the city's Table Mountain was not initially affected as the wind blew the flames away from the landmark peak, but later said the fire had spread towards the national park of the same name.

The wildfire volunteers also called on the public to donate water, food and sun cream to the firefighters tackling the blaze.
'It's best for everyone, except for firefighters and emergency services, not to be up on the mountains tonight,' the organisation said on Twitter.
'The fire is still not under control and the strong, gusting winds are making it difficult for the various crews on the ground,' they said on Sunday evening.
By late on Sunday there were at least 20 fire engines on the scene with more than 100 firefighters battling the blaze, according to The South African.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
