Dunsborough fire has already destroyed 200 acres of land thus far and is still trying to be maintained. Firefighters will be on the scene for several days.
An out-of-control bushfire has already destroyed a large amount of land thus far. Officials are warning anyone in the surrounding areas to get out of the area as soon as they can. Waiting too long or thinking you’re safe is too dangerous at this time.
According to thewest.com, the fire is moving south-westerly and is out of control as well as unpredictable. Burning embers are likely to blow over to neighboring properties. This should expedite the fire traveling and is therefore unpredictable. Residents who are not home shouldn’t risk coming back to their property soon.
Many of the Eagle Bay holiday makers’ visits were cut short when the fire Dunsborough broke out. Messages were received in the early hours of the morning at around 2 am to evacuate the premises. Putting an end to what would be a getaway and tourist spot for many.

At this time the warning is still in place while firefighters try to maintain and control the Dunsborough fire. More than 150 firefighters were on the scene assisting with evacuations. Even though there are no immediate dangers, it is still advised to be alert and stay up-to-date with any changes regarding the fire.
Now, there isn’t any immediate information on what started the fire. Some property owners do not know the state of their homes as they cannot re-enter the area and may not be able to for several days.
