Imagine: a wildfire, a relentless force, barreling across the landscape at speeds that would leave most runners in the dust – clocked at a staggering 16 kilometers an hour. It’s a stark reminder that we’re not dealing with a tame beast. In the Western Cape, battling these blazes is a masterclass in strategic thinking. It’s not just about reacting, it’s about predicting, anticipating, and getting vital information into the hands of those who need it, when they need it most. It’s about developing that ’third sense,’ that intuitive understanding of the fire’s behaviour, transforming data into decisive action. Because when faced with a force of nature this powerful, knowledge and foresight are the most potent weapons. Join Dan Corder as he chats to two experts in the field - Louise Wessels from the Greater Overberg FPA and Deon Rossouw, CN Integrated Catchments Manager. Green Noise, CapeNature’s podcast and video series, takes you behind the scenes of wildfire response, exploring the science, the strategies, and the stories of those who protect our landscapes.
