UPDATE: Firefighters continue to battle raging #DurbanFire
Edwin Swales and the M4 to the CBD are now open
Several businesses on South Coast Road have been evacuated as firefighters continue to fight the raging blaze, reports the Northglen News.
A noxious cloud of black smoke continues to billow from the warehouse, which is believed to contain wax panels and other chemicals.
Firefighters have been battling the blaze since 11am yesterday and the howling wind did not help matters.
The fire is still ongoing.
