We had really bad wild fires in Cape Town quite a few years back.. it is a horrific ordeal, so I can relate in that manner. Hopefully everything will remain calm on that front for us all.
Cape Town is a beautiful place and one of the many special places in South Africa. The landscape here is rich. Several years ago, Cape Town almost ran out of water. Residents were rationing themselves to try not reach what was termed 'Day Zero'. We've been able to recover brilliant from that point though, by being blessed by plenty of rainfall in this region.
Unfortunately, there is also a fair deal of crime.. I am blessed in that where I am now is pretty safe (as a whole anyway).
Then recently there was 'taxi strikes', which caused a lot of violence and disruption. That part (i.e. the taxi strikes) have come to an end thankfully. In addition to all of that, it seems that there is potentially a lot of corruption too. Well and let's not forget about the infamous 'loadshedding' - essentially rolling blackouts.
Overall, a great place.. plenty of challenges for sure.

Maybe wildfires are the least of your concerns living in Cape Town, I’ve heard there is a fair bit of violence etc going on there?
