Multiple Properties under threat in Mundijong - 4TH Alarm.

BUSHFIRE BEHAVIOUR:

The bushfire is moving in a west north westerly direction and is out of control and unpredictable.

WHAT FIREFIGHTERS ARE DOING:

Around 35 Bush Fire Service and Department of Environment and Conservation firefighters are on the scene.

The Aircrane, one Type 1 Helicopter, four fixed wing water bombers and the Air Intelligence Helicopter have been sent to assist ground crews.

Crews are using heavy machinery to establish containment lines.

The Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale is also in attendance.

Approximately three hectares have been burnt.

The incident was reported at 1.10pm today.
