Bushfire Emergency Warning
TOO LATE TO LEAVE - WUNAAMIN MILIWUNDI RANGES (KING LEOPOLD RANGES)

A Bushfire Emergency Warning is in place for people travelling along Fairfield-Leopold Downs Road and Tunnel Creek Road, including Fairfield Downs Station and people in Dimalurru (Tunnel Creek) National Park and Devonian Reef Conservation Park in the WUNAAMIN MILIWUNDI RANGES (KING LEOPOLD RANGES) in the SHIRE OF DERBY/WEST KIMBERLEY.

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

WHAT TO DO
It is too late to leave. Fire has impacted evacuation routes and leaving now will put your life in danger.

You need to identify a room in your home where you can shelter from the approaching fire. It should have running water, such as a kitchen or laundry, and have a clear exit so you can easily escape.

You must shelter before the fire arrives, as the extreme heat will kill you before the flames reach you.

Close all doors and windows and turn off evaporative air conditioners but keep water running through the system if possible.

Monitor both inside and outside of your home for fires and embers and turn on sprinklers if you have them.

If your home catches fire and the conditions inside become unbearable, go to an area that has already been burnt.

Protect yourself by wearing strong leather boots in case you need to leave your home.

If you are in immediate danger, call Triple Zero (000).
