bounded by Brand Highway to the west, Honeycomb Road, Mooliabeenee
Road and Ashworth Road to the north, Crest Hill Road to the east
and Gray Road and Creighton Road to the south in parts of BAMBUN,

The alert level for this fire has been downgraded as the fire is
contained.
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 find it hard to move quickly, you should enact your
bushfire plan or leave now for a safer place. This may be with
family and friends away from the area or to the evacuation
centre.
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.
