That sort of alert means ‘leave immediately’:

In WA, there is a Watch and Act alert in place “for people in an area bounded by Somerville Drive, Robertson Drive, Halifax Drive, South Western Highway, Bunbury Outer Ring Road and Lilydale Drive in parts of DAVENPORT, COLLEGE GROVE, and NORTH BOYANUP in the SHIRE OF CAPEL and CITY OF BUNBURY.”

That has thankfully been downgraded after fire authorities judged the fire which started last night to be no longer a threat (to houses/people)
