More than 20 Windhoek fire-fighters and dozens of farmers yesterday battled a fire that started on the road to Hosea Kutako Airport at around 11:00.
Off-duty fire-fighters were placed on stand-by, as all on-duty fire-fighters had to rush to the scene in a desperate attempt to contain the blaze.
Reports from the ground were still sketchy at the time of going to print. Some reports attributed the cause of the fire to an accidental spark caused during road maintenance work close to Unam’s Neudamm Campus.
