This Emergency Warning is being issued for Briagolong North of Beverleys Road.
There is a bushfire at Duffy Rd, Briagolong that is out of control.
The bushfire is travelling from Duffy Road in a south-easterly direction towards Princes Highway, Munro and Princes Highway, Delvine.
Unexpected conditions have changed and the fire has now crossed Beverleys Road and is moving towards the Princes Highway.
The fire started on Duffy Road in Briagolong.
This fire is threatening homes and lives.
It is too late to leave the area safely so you must take shelter now.
This Emergency Warning replaces the Watch and Act issued on Monday 03 October at 10:35pm.
You are in danger and need to act immediately to survive.

The safest option is to take shelter indoors immediately. It is too late to leave.

Leaving now would be deadly.
What you should do:
You should move indoors:
Protect yourself by wearing long sleeves and trousers, made from pure cotton or wool. Wear leather boots.
Bring your pets inside.
Close all exterior doors, windows and vents and turn off cooling systems.
You must take shelter before the fire arrives. The extreme heat is likely to kill you well before the flames reach you.
Shelter in a room that has two exits, such as a door or window including one directly to the outside. It is important to be able to see outside so you know what is happening with the fire.

If your home catches on fire:
Move away from the rooms that are on fire, closing doors behind you.
As soon as the bushfire has passed the house, or conditions inside become unbearable, you need to get out and go to an area that has already been burnt. Staying inside a burning building will almost certainly end in death.
It may still be too hot to remain outside, so you will need to seek shelter in another structure or last resort option.

If you cannot get indoors, last resort options include:
Shelter in the middle of a large open area like a ploughed paddock, football oval or sporting reserve.
Get into a large body of water like a dam, lake, river, the ocean or inground pool.
Try to protect yourself from the fire's heat.

If you are travelling:
If you are travelling, do not enter the warning area. Make a u-turn and travel to safety.
If you are currently driving slow down and turn on your headlights. Smoke will make it difficult to see.

If you are caught in fire in your car:
Park off the road behind a solid structure to block the fire's heat or pull over to cleared area.
Try to position the car towards the approaching fire.
Turn on your hazard lights and headlights.
Close all windows.
Turn off the air-conditioning and shut all the air vents.
Turn your car engine off.
Get down as low as possible below window level and cover up with a pure woollen blanket.
Impacts in your area:
Bushfires can generate extreme heat. Heat will kill you before the fire reaches you.
Embers are being carried by the wind large distances ahead of the main fire and starting spot fires.
Trees can be extremely hazardous during a bushfire or high winds. Avoid standing, parking or travelling in areas of fire affected trees.
