Evacuations continue for a second day in small coastal towns near Cape Town, South Africa, due to wildfires.

Pringle Bay has been completely evacuated, with neighboring Betty's Bay also affected by the fires.

The wildfires have been exacerbated by hot, dry conditions and strong coastal winds, leading to multiple fires in the region.

A number of homes have been destroyed and approximately 95% of a nearby nature reserve has been consumed by the fires.

Firefighting efforts include aerial support with helicopters using ocean water to combat the flames.

The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment is actively engaged in addressing wildfires across four regions of the Western Cape.

One of the fires in the Western Cape has been burning for nine days, with the province experiencing several recent wildfires due to various causes including discarded cigarettes and arson.
