Tanami Road, between the NT border to a point 50km west. This
includes the Coyote minesite, remote contractors working, and
surrounding areas in TANAMI in the SHIRE OF HALLS CREEK..
The alert level for this fire has been upgraded because the
direction of the fire has changed.
There is a possible threat to lives and homes as a fire is
approaching in the area and conditions are changing.
The fire originated in the Northern Territory.
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.
