A Bushfire Watch and Act is in place for people in an area bounded by Airfield Road, Brand Highway, Bambun Road and Duffy Road in BAMBUN in the SHIRE OF GINGIN.

The alert level for this fire has been upgraded due to escalating fire behaviour.

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

WHAT TO DO

Stay alert and monitor your surroundings as conditions could change.

You may need to act quickly so ensure you are prepared if the situation gets worse.

Read through your bushfire plan. If you do not have a plan make one by visiting My Bushfire Plan.

Have your emergency kit ready.

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, leaving now is your safest option.

Keep your doors and windows closed to keep out smoke.

Patrol your property and be ready to put out spot fires.

If you plan to stay and defend ensure you are mentally and physically prepared, with protective clothing and an independent water supply.

SAFEST ROUTE

If the way is clear and it is safe to do so, travel east along Airfield Road towards Brand Highway.
