'Drawing on the experience of Table Mountain National Park management and personnel, wildland firefighters, environmentalists, academics and fire-management practitioners, The Cape aflame revisits the first days of March 2015 to explore the benefits of fire to fynbos; competing fire-management policies dating back to the 19th Century; and local, provincial and state firefighting initiatives dominated by the social and political climes of their times. Moreover, as the fynbos of Table Mountain National Park rejuvenates, this work seeks not to reinforce the separation of city dwellers from their birthright; it offers irrevocable proof that the unity demonstrated during those days of fire and fear exemplifies the spirit we need to ensure our continuing, sustainable coexistence with our greatest assets -- our iconic mountain, its flora and its fauna.'--Back cover.
