This Watch and Act message is being issued for Carrum Downs, Frankston, Frankston North, Langwarrin, Skye.

There is a grassfire at Mcclelland Dr, Langwarrin that is under control.
Firefighters have been able to slow the spread of the fire for now, but this can change at any time and the situation is still dangerous. You must monitor conditions and be ready to act.

If you live two or more streets away from the grassland you should shelter indoors:

Bring your pets indoors.
Close all exterior doors, windows and vents.
Turn off cooling systems.
Monitor conditions.
