Drone footage captures horrific aftermath of Knysna fire

The footage shows the trail of damage left by the horrifying blaze. 

Now, the communities of Knysna and Sedgefield begin to pick up the pieces.

Seven people, including two firefighters, have died as a result of the inferno and thousands left homeless.

The deadly fire was fanned by the severe cold front which lashed the Western Cape last week. 

The blaze has been contained.
