Bushfire WATCH AND ACT for parts of BOW BRIDGE, HAZELVALE, NORTH WALPOLE, TINGLEDALE AND TRENT in the SHIRES OF DENMARK and MANJIUMP

A bushfire WATCH AND ACT is in place for people in an area bounded by Mount Frankland Road, Bridge Road, Hazelvale Road, Trent Road, Valley of The Giants Road and Middle Road, and Soho Block and Collis Block to the north and east in parts of BOW BRIDGE, HAZELVALE, NORTH WALPOLE, TINGLEDALE and TRENT in the SHIRES OF DENMARK and MANJIMUP.

The alert level for this fire has been downgraded due to favourable conditions although the fire remains uncontained and uncontrolled.

WHAT TO DO
If you are not prepared or you plan to leave, leave now if the way is clear.
If you are well prepared and plan to actively defend your home, make final preparations now.
If you plan to stay and actively defend, do not rely on mains water pressure as it may be affected. You need to have access to an independent water supply, and start patrolling your property to put out spot fires.
Keep doors and windows closed and turn off evaporative air conditioners, but keep water running through the system if possible.
If you are not at home, do not try to return as conditions in the area could be very dangerous.
