Bushfire WATCH AND ACT for areas to the west of Nanga Townsite, south of Dwellingup in the SHIRE OF WAROONA
A bushfire WATCH AND ACT is in place for people in an area to the west of Nanga Townsite, south of Dwellingup in the SHIRE OF WAROONA.

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

The fire started in state forest west of Nanga Townsite moving in a south-westerly direction.

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.
