Bushfire ADVICE for the Victoria Highway near Lake Argyle in the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley


Wednesday 6 May 2015 - 3:30 PM

A bushfire ADVICE remains for people travelling on the Victoria Highway near the intersection of Lake Argyle Road in the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley.

 

  • There is no threat to lives or homes but there is a lot of smoke in the area. 
  • Although there is no immediate danger you need to be aware and keep up to date in case the situation changes.
  • The fire started in the Northern Territory and is now burning in inaccessible grassland towards the Victoria Highway.

BUSHFIRE BEHAVIOUR:

  • The bushfire is moving slowly in a westerly direction.
  • It is out of control and unpredictable.

WHAT TO DO: 

  • Be extremely careful when driving through the area.
  • Turn your headlights on and drive slowly.
  • Watch for emergency services personnel and follow their directions.
  • If you cannot see clearly, pull over, keep your headlights and hazard lights on, and wait until the smoke clears.

 

 

ROAD CLOSURES:

No roads are closed but motorists should drive with caution due to smoke in the area. 

Road information may also be available from Main Roads WA by calling 138 138 or visiting www.mainroads.wa.gov.au
