Wildfires - South Africa
A deadly blaze aboard a train sparked a wildfire in Cape Town Thursday, as strong winds and high temperatures also sent flames ripping through vineyards in South Africa's prime winelands.
A body was found in one of two burnt-out carriages on the commuter train after it made an emergency stop near Fish Hoek village on Cape Town's southern peninsula, police said.
Water-bombing helicopters and fire crews were battling to prevent the blaze reaching nearby houses.
Helicopters were also in action in the Cape's scenic winelands, where fires have raged in the Simonsberg area since Tuesday.
Several farms have lost part of their grape crops, just as the harvesting season gets under way.
