A Bushfire Emergency Warning is in place for people in an area bound Toodyay Road, Campersic Road, Stock Road and the Red Hill Waste Disposal Site in parts of GIDGEGANNUP, HERNE HILL, HOVEA, JANE BROOK, PARKERVILLE and RED HILL in the SHIRE OF MUNDARING and 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 in a westerly direction.

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.

A Bushfire Watch and Act is in place for people in an area bounded by Toodyay Road, Adams Road, Huntsman Terrace, Talbot Road and Taaffe Road in JANE BROOK, RED HILL and SWAN VIEW in the CITY OF SWAN and SHIRE OF MUNDARING.

There is a possible threat to lives and homes as a fire is burning in the area and conditions are changing.

WHAT TO DO
If your plan is to leave, leave now.

Take your emergency kit with you. It should include an AM/FM radio that runs off batteries, a first aid kit, a woollen blanket, phones, protective clothing, medication and irreplaceable valuables.

Decide where you will go and how you will get there. This could be with family or friends away from the fire.

Keep your doors and windows closed to keep out smoke.

Turn off evaporative air conditioners, but keep water running through the system if possible to prevent embers entering your home.

Move flammable materials such as doormats, wheelie bins and outdoor furniture away from your home.

If you plan to stay and defend ensure you are mentally and physically prepared, with protective clothing and an independent water supply. Make final preparations now and start patrolling your property to put out spot fires.
