Bushfire WATCH AND ACT for parts of CALLCUP, CROWEA and MEERUP in the SHIRE OF MANJIMUP

A bushfire WATCH AND ACT is in place for people bounded by Gumnut Road, Richardson Road, Lewis Road and Warren Beach Track in the south, Tattenham Road and Pemberton-Northcliffe Road in the east, Barker Road, Larkin Road to Larkin Bridge in the north, then south-west to the properties along the Warren River including the Colonels to the coast in parts of CALLCUP, CROWEA and MEERUP in the SHIRE OF MANJIMUP.

There is a possible threat to lives and homes as a uncontrolled bushfire is burning in the area and people still need to stay alert.
The fire started near the intersection of Tattenham Road in Meerup.

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.
