Bushfire Watch and Act
PREPARE TO LEAVE - SOUTH STIRLING and GREEN RANGE

A Bushfire Watch and Act is in place for people in the area bounded by Kojaneerup West Road, east of South Coast Highway, Warriup Road and Drawbin Road in parts of SOUTH STIRLING and GREEN RANGE in the CITY OF ALBANY.

The alert level for this fire has been upgraded as the bushfire is moving towards South Coast Highway.

WHAT TO DO

If your plan is to leave, leave now.

Take your emergency kit with you. It should include an AM/FM radio that runs off batteries, a first aid kit, a woollen blanket, phones, protective clothing, medication and irreplaceable valuables.

Decide where you will go and how you will get there. This could be with family or friends away from the fire.

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.

Move flammable materials such as doormats, wheelie bins and outdoor furniture away from your home.

If you plan to stay and defend ensure you are mentally and physically prepared, with protective clothing and an independent water supply. Make final preparations now and start patrolling your property to put out spot fires.
