Bushfire Emergency Warning
Updated
LEAVE NOW - parts of BULLSBROOK

A Bushfire Emergency Warning is in place for people in an area bounded by Bingham Road, Muchea South Road and north of Neaves Road, including parts of Tonkin Highway in BULLSBROOK in the 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 southerly 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.

SAFEST ROUTE
If safe to do so, leave in a southerly direction via Muchea South Road.

Bushfire behaviour

The bushfire is moving in a northerly direction.

It is not contained or controlled.

Road closures and conditions

Some roads may be closed.

Motorists are asked to avoid the area, reduce speed and drive carefully. Road information may also be available from Main Roads WA by visiting the Main Roads Travel Map, calling 138 138 or by contacting your Local Government Authority.

What firefighters are doing

Firefighters are actively fighting the fire.

Aerial support has been sent to assist ground crews.

Drones and aerial support

Never fly a drone, model aircraft or multirotor near bushfires. Doing so poses a major safety risk to firefighting personnel in the air and on the ground, and forces aircraft to be grounded or redirected, hindering firefighting efforts.

Animal Welfare

Owners or carers of livestock, pets and companion animals should activate their own animal welfare plan. During a bushfire take advice from Local Government Authorities to protect the lives of your animals while keeping yourself safe.

For more information on actions to take for each bushfire warning level, please see the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development website.
