Fire at Tree Top Chalet claims three lives
On Thursday, 18 July 2024 a fire broke out at the Tree Top Chalet in the Knysna Section of the Garden Route National Park resulting in the unfortunate passing of three people. The affected chalet was completely gutted.
The matter is now under investigation by the South African Police Services (SAPS) to determine the cause of the fire and to officially determine the identities of the people who sadly lost their lives. Booking records suggest that the persons who were victims of the fire are two SANParks staff and one non-SANParks staff.
SANParks appeals for sensitivity to allow for official police processes to conclude and for the affected families to have the opportunity to attend to what is a most challenging experience.
