How to stay safe in a bushfire
As the hot weather returns Russell Jones from DFES offers three tips to stay safe if your property is under threat.
DFES advised residents to prepare to actively defend their property, or evacuate as soon as possible.
Residents should only attempt to defend their property if actively prepared, as conditions are considered very dangerous.

The fire started near the intersection of Anketell Road and Clementi Road in the Spectacles.
DFES warns there is a threat to lives and homes in the area.
What to doÂ
- 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 are not at home, do not try to return as conditions in the area could be very dangerous.
- Close all doors and windows and turn off evaporative air conditioners, but keep water running through the system if possible.
A bushfire advice has been issued for a second fire in the area for people south of Anketell Road, west of Kwinana Freeway and in the northern parts of the Spectacles, Orelia and Parmelia in the City of Kwinana.
