A fire recently tore through a home in Georgia Crescent, Colorado Park, resulting in the loss of significant valuables.
Fire and Rescue Services spokesperson Jermaine Carelse said crews received a call reporting a house ablaze at around 09:35. Firefighters from the Mitchells Plain, Ottery and Gugulethu fire stations were dispatched to the scene and attended to the incident.
