The guests occupying cottage D76 were not close to their accommodation facility at the time of the fire, which was said to have been quickly brought under control. 

However, the guests did have a chronic condition, and their medication was destroyed in the fire. 

The park said Satara’s camp manager arranged for the guests to depart after the fire, and that camp staff and rangers were there to assist. 

No other units were affected.
