Bushfire Watch and Act
BE AWARE OF EMBER ATTACK - parts of BARRAGUP

A Bushfire Watch and Act is in place for people in an area bounded by Greenwood Way, Pinjarra Road and Fiegert Road in parts of BARRAGUP in the SHIRE OF MURRAY.

The alert level for this fire has been upgraded as burning embers are being blown up to 15 metres ahead of the fire.

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

WHAT TO DO
Burning embers are likely to be blown around your home and could spark a fire.

Embers are being blown up to 15 metres ahead of the fire.

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.
