The Department of Fire and Emergency Services has kicked off the Join the Ready campaign in Western Australia. This initiative is being promoted through Rare Perth and aims to get households ready for the upcoming bushfire season.
A bushfire is moving toward homes in Perth's northern suburbs. Residents north of Kununurra have been ordered to evacuate as firefighters tackle an emergency-level fire. Blazes also pose a threat to properties in Ellenbrook, Aveley, and The Vines. People in Mandurah are advised to prepare their land before the season begins.
“People in Mandurah are advised to prepare their land before the season begins,” — Andreas Mercer, policy watcher at Halton Field Partnership, told our newsroom.
