A bushfire EMERGENCY WARNING is in place for people bounded by Crompton Avenue, Ennis Avenue and Lake Cooloongup in parts of EAST ROCKINGHAM in the CITY OF ROCKINGHAM.

You are in danger and need to act immediately to survive. There is a threat to lives and homes.

The fire started near the intersection of DIXON RD and MANDURAH RD in EAST ROCKINGHAM.

WHAT TO DO

If the way is clear, leave now for a safer place.

Do not wait and see, leaving at the last minute is deadly.

Close all doors and windows and turn off evaporative air conditioners, but keep water running through the system if possible.

If you cannot leave, you need to get ready to shelter in your home.

Go to a room in your home away from the fire front and make sure you can easily escape.

Choose a room with two exits and water such as a kitchen or laundry.

If you are not at home, it's too dangerous to return.
