Bushfire Watch and Act
Updated
BE AWARE OF EMBER ATTACK - KUNUNURRA

A Bushfire Watch and Act is in place for people in the Ivanhoe agricultural area, including Mulligans Lagoon Road and Weaber Plain Road south to the airstrip, in KUNUNURRA in the SHIRE OF WYNDHAM-EAST KIMBERLEY.

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.

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.
