Have you been to Cape Town?

This is a view of Cape Town from up on the mountain.

There are mountains around the city of Cape Town.

Trees and plants live on the mountains.

Do you see the fire starting on the mountain?

It starts with a tree and spreads through the trees.

Once the fire starts it is very difficult to stop, and can spread quickly.

The raging fire burns the grass.

The fire licks at the tree roots and the smoke blows between their leaves.

After the fire has gone out, the land looks dry and burnt.

Nothing looks alive.

But when the rains come, green leaves will spring up from the burnt grass and trees.

There is life after all!

Fires can be very dangerous if they spread out of control.

Always extinguish a fire if you light one.
