A Bushfire Watch and Act is in place for people in an area bounded by Forrest Highway, Marriott Road, Wellesley Road North, Treasure Road and Rhodes Road in parts of WELLESLEY, PARKFIELD, BENGER and WOKALUP in the SHIRE OF HARVEY.

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

WHAT TO DO
Stay alert and monitor your surroundings as conditions could change.

You may need to act quickly so ensure you are prepared if the situation gets worse.

Read through your plan. If you do not have a plan, make one now on Emergency WA or in the Emergency WA app.

Have your emergency kit ready.

If you find it hard to move quickly, leaving now is your safest option.

Keep your doors and windows closed to keep out smoke.

Continue to patrol your property and be ready to put out spot fires.

If you plan to stay and defend ensure you are mentally and physically prepared, with protective clothing and an independent water supply.
