A Bushfire Emergency Warning is in place for people in an area
bounded by Nilgen Road to the coast and to the north and south of
Ocean Farm Drive in NILGEN in the SHIRE OF GINGIN.
WHAT TO DO
If the way is clear, leave now for a safer place. This may be with
family or friends away from the area.
Leave in a southerly direction towards the Lancelin
townsite.
Do not wait and see, leaving at the last minute could put your
life in danger.
Take your emergency kit with you.
If you become stuck in your car, park away from bushes, cover
yourself with a woollen blanket, get onto the floor as the windows
may break from the intense heat.
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.
You must shelter before the fire arrives, as the extreme heat will
kill you before the flames reach you.
Go to a room in your home where you can shelter from the
approaching fire.
The room should have running water, such as a kitchen or laundry,
and have a clear exit so you can easily escape.
If you are not at home, it is too dangerous to return.
A Bushfire Watch and Act is in place for people in an area west of
Indian Ocean Drive, bounded by Sappers Road to the north and
Lancelin Road to the south, including Lancelin Golf Club in parts
of LANCELIN and NILGEN in the SHIRE OF GINGIN
There is a possible threat to lives and homes as a fire is burning
in the area and conditions are changing.
