A Bushfire Watch and Act is in place for people in or near
Thunderbird Mine and Mount Jowlaenga Homestead in parts of
WATERBANK and WILLARE in the SHIRE OF BROOME and the SHIRE OF
DERBY/WEST KIMBERLEY
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.
Keep your doors and windows closed to keep out smoke.
Turn off evaporative air conditioners, but keep water running
through the system if possible to prevent embers entering your
home.
Continue to patrol your property and be ready to put out spot
fires.
