Ember attack extends fire emergency in Perth's north as extreme heat continues

Incident controller Guy Baxter said a change in the wind had helped fire crews keep the flames away from homes this morning, but the wind was likely to complicate the fire fight later this morning and again this afternoon."The wind has been quite favourable the last couple of hours which means that we've been able to make some inroads into mitigating any further risk around that part of Two Rocks.

"The wind is going to be tricky over the next few hours and then it will stabilise towards lunchtime. "Then we've got the potential southerlies coming in after lunch which could give us some grief but we're just starting to plan for that now."People in the area are advised to leave now in a southerly direction along Two Rocks Road.

A bushfire watch and act alert has also been issued for people in an area of neighbouring Yanchep and Eglinton bounded by Yanchep Beach Road to the north, the coast to the west, Pipidinny Road to the south and Wanneroo Road and Indian Ocean Drive to the east.
