NORTHCLIFF – The Northcliff Country Club experienced a second fire.

This is the second fire to occur at the club following another fire several years ago. Operations manager of the club, Mishack Mpofu said the fire occurred in the garden area in close proximity to the building.
“The fire happened close to a wendy house, which almost caught fire as well,” said Mpofu, adding, however, that there was no destruction to the property.
“The fire was contained within a reasonable amount of time since workers were able to use irrigation pipes to contain part of the fire before the Johannesburg Emergency Services arrived on the scene.”
