detailed map of Kruisfontein and near places
Two main fires, followed by a number of smaller fires, started from the Elandskraal area north east of Sedgefield and in the MTO Kruisfontein Plantation just east of the Knysna urban area. Both fires were fuelled by forestry plantations and fynbos vegetation in places invaded heavily with exotic aliens like black wattle, blackwood, gum and pine, fanned by the extremely strong wind, which caused them to spread at amazing speeds.
Spot fires were ignited kilometres ahead of the main front, through burning material flung high into the air. Although in total seven lives were lost, mostly in rural areas around Knysna and Sedgefield, it was a miracle that none were lost inside the town. One of the characteristics of this fire was that no human efforts or devices were able to make any impression on it.
The strong wind and dense smoke made it impossible. Helicopters could only be deployed from the second day onwards, after most of the assets had been destroyed.
The focus was on saving lives by evacuating people. At this point in time the statistics are astounding: In Knysna between and houses were destroyed, and in Plettenberg Bay another houses were burnt, the majority of which stood in relatively upmarket residential areas. MTO lost 1 ha plantation at Kruisfontein, at least 2 ha at Witelsbosch and 5 ha plus the sawmill at Longmore. A small area at Kransbos was burnt.

PG Bison apparently lost most of its 8 ha of plantations, while Whitcher in the Tsitiskamma lost a few hundred ha. The main indigenous state and private forests were damaged on their edges in places, with numerous spot fires having been lit inside the forests, which is usual under these conditions. Small forest patches have suffered damage in Knysna and in surrounding areas, and where they were surrounded by pine plantations, may have completely burnt down. Scrub forest which developed through lack of fire was totally wiped out. The implications of this loss are such that Forestry South Africa together with Sawmilling SA is planning a strategic meeting with all growers and sawmillers in the area during June.
Technology was used to great effect, including drones to spot and guide pilots of fire fighting aircraft to hot spots. Wilderness Search and rescue has provided ten multi-disciplinary teams each with an all-terrain vehicle and equipment made available for this purpose. This will provide the basis for analysing all the aspects contributing to the disaster, and for formulating a strategy for the future through focus working groups under the MAC, for inter alia the environment, commercial forestry, local economic development and tourism.
The vision is to reconstruct a post-fire landscape from macro to micro level which will contain all the elements of the lessons learnt from this event.
