The fire started on 1 March, and was contained, but flared up again just after 02:00 on 2 March, in Muizenberg above Boyes Drive, fanned by strong winds.
It spread to Ou Kaapse Weg, Chapman's Peak, Hout Bay, and Tokai.
About 2 000 people and 26 aircraft were involved in the operation.
The 198 hours of flying time had cost about R2.4m. About two million litres of water had been dumped on the fire in about 2 000 water drops.
