Bushfire Emergency Warning
LEAVE NOW - CARDIFF and MCALINDEN

A Bushfire Emergency Warning is in place for people in the vicinity of Hart Road and Collie South East Road in parts of MCALINDEN and CARDIFF in SHIRES OF BOYUP BROOK and COLLIE.

You are in danger and need to act immediately to survive. There is a threat to lives and homes.

Homes in Hart Road are under threat by fire now.

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.

People on Hart Road should leave in an easterly direction along Hart Road towards McAlinden Road.

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.

IMPACTS
People on Hart Road should leave in an easterly direction along Hart Road towards McAlinden Road.
