Bushfire Emergency Warning

LEAVE NOW - parts of KENWICK, WATTLE GROVE, MADDINGTON and BECKENHAM

A Bushfire Emergency Warning is in place for people in an area bounded by Welshpool Road East, Tonkin Highway, Kenwick Road, Brixton Street and Roe Highway in parts of KENWICK, WATTLE GROVE, MADDINGTON and BECKENHAM in the CITY OF CANNING, CITY OF GOSNELLS and CITY OF KALAMUNDA

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

Homes in Bickley 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.

If it is safe to do so, leave in an southerly direction towards Albany Highway.

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 you are in the area you can leave in a southerly direction towards Albany Highway.
