Firefighting crews and helicopters were dispatched to Kalk Bay on Monday as a wildfire raged on the mountain above the suburb.

The Table Mountain National Park said in a post on social media platform X that two Huey helicopters, a spotter aircraft and City of Cape Town #fire and rescue services were responding to the scene along Boyes Drive, near Trappieskop.

Boyes Drive was closed to traffic due to thick smoke engulfing the area.

This is a developing story.
