Bushfire Emergency Warning
LEAVE NOW - BULLSBROOK and MUCHEA

A Bushfire Emergency Warning is in place for people in an area bound by Tonkin Highway to the east, Neaves Road to the south, Kirby road to the West, and Martin Road to the north in parts of BULLSBROOK and MUCHEA in the SHIRE of CHITTERING and the CITY of SWAN.

You are in danger and need to act immediately to survive. There is a threat to lives and homes.

WHAT TO DO
If the way is clear, leave now for a safer place. This may be with family or friends away from the area.

If it is safe to do so, leave now along Neaves Road or Tonkin Highway.

Do not wait and see, leaving at the last minute could put your life in danger.

Take your emergency kit with you.

If you become stuck in your car, park away from bushes, cover yourself with a woollen blanket, get onto the floor as the windows may break from the intense heat.

Close all doors and windows and turn off evaporative air conditioners but keep water running through the system if possible.

If you cannot leave, you need to get ready to shelter in your home.

You must shelter before the fire arrives, as the extreme heat will kill you before the flames reach you.

Go to a room in your home where you can shelter from the approaching fire.

The room should have running water, such as a kitchen or laundry, and have a clear exit so you can easily escape.

If you are not at home, it is too dangerous to return.
