LANGEBERG FIRE UPDATE: 24 FEBRUARY 2026

MEULPLAAS MOUNTAIN FIRE🔥
- Location: Northern side above Meulplaas / Southern side above Joubertsdal
- Cause: Lightning strike

Langeberg Municipality would like to inform residents that the Meulplaas mountain fire remains active high up in the mountain between Meulplaas and Joubertsdal (R60 area).

The fire lines on both the northern and southern slopes are situated high in the mountain and are currently inaccessible to ground crews due to steep terrain and misty, cloudy conditions. The fire is moving slowly down into the valleys.
Cape Winelands District Municipality is providing support. Farmers in the area are on standby should assistance be required.

The current objective is to utilise existing firebreaks and natural kloofs that are still within the burn cycle on both sides of the mountain.

- Threat: There is currently no threat to infrastructure.

ROOIBERG MOUNTAIN FIRE🔥
- Location: Rooiberg, burning towards Dassieshoek

Langeberg Municipality confirms that the Rooiberg mountain fire remains active high up in the mountain and is burning in the direction of Dassieshoek.

CapeNature is monitoring the situation. Due to the remote and mountainous terrain, there is currently no vehicle access to the fire line.

- Threat: There is currently no threat to infrastructure.

Residents are advised that the fires are being monitored and there is no cause for alarm.

Further updates will be communicated as more information becomes available.
