Summary edit

Description
Afrikaans: Gesig vanaf Black River Parkway (M5) in Maitland oor die sterrewag na Duiwelspiek, met die middestad aan regterhand. 'n Hewige suidooster het die brandweermanne se pogings om die brand op Duiwelspiek laat Dinsdagaand onder beheer te bring, belemmer. Die brand het ontstaan ​​toe plantegroei onder Rhodes Gedenkteken omstreeks 20:30 aan die brand geraak het. Teen middernag was die hele Duiwelspiek in vlamme; Teen 02:00 het die vlamme na die kant van die piek versprei en die buitewyke van Walmer Estate en Vredehoek is bedreig waar inwoners moes ontruim en paaie vir verkeer gesluit is.
Deutsch: Orientierung: Blick auf den Devil's Peak mit Blick auf das Observatorium mit dem CBD auf der rechten Seite. Foto aufgenommen vom M5 Black River Parkway, Maitland. Ein heftiger Südostwind behinderte die Bemühungen der Feuerwehrleute, am späten Dienstagabend ein Feuer auf dem Devil's Peak unter Kontrolle zu bringen. Das Feuer brach aus, als die Vegetation unter dem Rhodes Memorial gegen 20:30 Uhr in Brand geriet. Um Mitternacht stand der gesamte Devil's Peak in Flammen; Um 2 Uhr morgens hatten sich die Flammen an der Seite des Gipfels ausgebreitet und bedrohten die Vororte Walmer Estate und Vredehoek, wo die Bewohner evakuiert und die Straßen für den Verkehr gesperrt wurden.
English: Orientation: Facing Devil's Peak, looking over Observatory with the CBD on the right. Photo shot from M5 Black River Parkway, Maitland. A fierce south-easterly wind was hampering firefighter efforts to bring a fire on Devil's Peak under control late on Tuesday night. The fire broke out when vegetation below Rhodes Memorial caught alight at around 8:30pm. By midnight the whole of Devil's Peak was ablaze; by 2am the flames had spread around the side of the peak and were threatening the suburbs of Walmer Estate and Vredehoek where residents were being evacuated and roads were closed to traffic.
