Your checklist
  • Get low

    Smoke is poisonous and more deadly than flames.

    If you breathe smoke for more than a few breaths it can kill you.

  • Be fast

    A house fire can kill you in less than three minutes.

    Don't spend time trying to save possessions.

  • Close doors

    A closed door buys you time.

    It slows down the spread of fire, giving you more time to get to safety.

  • Get out - stay out!

    People have died by going back into a fire.

    Don't leave the meeting place to go back inside for any reason.

Mt Creighton Fire - Update 2

Helicopters have stopped operations and firefighters have left the fire ground for the evening. 

We will monitor the fire overnight. A damper evening and cooler conditions are helping the fire conditions.

Six helicopters and seven ground crews will return to fight the fire around 7am tomorrow morning. 

We will provide another update tomorrow morning.
