Headline: N2 Traffic Disrupted by Vegetation Fire as Firefighters Work Overnight

A vegetation fire along the N2 highway caused significant traffic disruptions, with emergency teams working through the night to contain the blaze. The fire, which broke out late Saturday, led to closures in both directions as firefighters battled the flames. Despite their efforts, traffic was heavily impacted, with delays stretching for miles.

Motorists were advised to avoid the affected sections of the highway while crews from the fire department worked to prevent further spread. Authorities reported that, while no injuries had been reported, the fire’s intensity posed a serious threat to nearby areas, including local wildlife.

The disruption continued into the early hours of Sunday as responders monitored the situation and controlled hotspots. Traffic officials implemented diversions, though long delays were still experienced by commuters. Emergency teams were hopeful that the fire would be fully contained by the afternoon.

As the cause of the fire is still under investigation, officials have reminded the public to be cautious when traveling in dry, windy conditions, as these increase the risk of fires. Firefighters are expected to remain on the scene until the area is safe for normal traffic flow.
