Bushfire WATCH AND ACT for part of KINGS PARK in the CITY OF PERTH

A bushfire WATCH AND ACT is in place for people in an area bounded by Lovekin Drive, Poole Ave, Thomas Road and May Drive in KINGS PARK in the CITY OF PERTH.

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

The bushfire is moving in a north easterly direction.
It is not contained or controlled.

WHAT TO DO
If you are not prepared or you plan to leave, leave now if the way is clear.
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.
