Bushfire WATCH AND ACT for south-eastern parts of Tone Bridge in the SHIRE OF CRANBROOK

A bushfire WATCH AND ACT is in place for people in an area bounded by Wingebellup Road to the west and south, Unicup Road to the east and Boyup Brook-Cranbrook Road to the north in the south-eastern parts of Tone Bridge in the SHIRE OF CRANBROOK.

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

WHAT TO DO
If you are not prepared or you plan to leave, leave now if the way is clear.
If you are well prepared and plan to actively defend your home, make final preparations now.
If you plan to stay and actively defend, do not rely on mains water pressure as it may be affected. You need to have access to an independent water supply, and start patrolling your property to put out spot fires.
Keep doors and windows closed and turn off evaporative air conditioners, but keep water running through the system if possible.
If you are not at home, do not try to return as conditions in the area could be very dangerous.
