Bermagui residents told ‘it is too late to leave’ as Coolagolite bushfire approaches
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

UPDATE, 5.10pm, October 3:

A significant southerly change is expected to reach the fireground around midnight. RFS said the change will bring cooler temperatures and increase humidity which should ease conditions, but also had the potential to push the fire back towards Bermagui.

Residents in Bermagui were urged to monitor conditions ahead of the southerly change.

The fire has spread and is impacting properties in Cuttagee and Barragga Bay.

The fire has spread and is impacting properties in Cuttagee and Barragga Bay.

An Emergency warning remains in place for the Cuttagee, Barragga Bay, Murrah and Bunga areas.

If you are in those areas you are in danger and it is too late to leave. Seek shelter now inside a solid structure such as a house.

The fire is moving quickly in an easterly direction under strong westerly winds and is impacting on homes in the Cuttagee and Barragga Bay areas.

Under deteriorating conditions, the fire is likely to impact on homes and properties in the areas of Murrah and Bunga.

Embers will be blown long distances ahead of the main fire front starting spot fires, these may impact your home earlier than the main fire front.

Evacuation centres are being established

Bega Showground, 40 Upper Street, Bega

Narooma Leisure Centre, 100 Bluewater Drive, Narooma

People in Bermagui who do not feel adequately prepared to defend their properties should consider relocating to a safer place such as Bega or Narooma before nightfall.

UPDATE, 4.20pm, October 3:

Communities south of Bermagui at Bunga and Murrah are now also being told it is too late to leave and to seek shelter as a bushfire continues to burn out of control in the area.

The Coolagolite Road fire remains at an Emergency warning level and with strong winds is spotting well ahead of the main fire front an RFS spokesperson said.

Residents in the townships of Cuttagee, Bermagui, Barragga Bay and now Murrah and Bunga have been told to seek shelter.

A road block has been set up on the Tathra-Bermagui Rd at Tanja to prevent anyone heading northbound heading into the area.

The fire is moving quickly in an easterly direction under strong westerly winds and is impacting on homes in the Cuttagee and Barragga Bay areas.

Under deteriorating conditions, the fire is likely to impact on homes and properties in the areas of Bermagui, Murrah and Bunga.

Embers will be blown long distances ahead of the main fire front starting spot fires, these may impact your home earlier than the main fire front.

If you have not already left the area, it is now too late to leave.

The NSW RFS water bombing aircraft Bomber 210 is en route to assist in fighting the Coolagolite fire that is burning at an Emergency warning level as at 3.35pm.

Residents in the Bermagui, Cuttagee or Barragga Bay areas have been told they are in danger and it is now too late to leave. Seek shelter now inside a solid structure such as a house.

RFS reports the fire is moving quickly in an easterly direction under strong westerly winds and is impacting on homes in the Cuttagee area.

Under deteriorating conditions, the fire is likely to impact on homes and properties in the areas of Bermagui and Barragga Bay.

If you have not left the area, it is now too late to leave.

If the fire impacts, seek shelter in a solid structure such as a house to protect yourself from the heat of the fire.

Protect yourself from the heat of the fire. Wear protective clothing and footwear. Cover all bare skin.

A safer location may include a well cleared area nearby. Neighbourhood safer places offer a place of last resort if there are no other options.

If you planned to visit the area, or live in the area but are away from home, it is not safe to return.

If you are threatened by fire

If the fire impacts, seek shelter in a solid structure such as a house to protect yourself from the heat of the fire.

Bring pets indoors and restrain them, close all doors and windows and turn off air conditioners, keep water running if possible.

Shelter in a room on the other side of the building from the approaching fire, and one that has water and a clear exit out of the house.

Keep moving away from the fire if possible and if your building catches fire, go to an area within the building which has already burnt.

Monitor both inside and outside for small fires and burning embers and turn sprinklers on if you have them.

Be careful outdoors after the fire has passed as trees can be unstable and fall.

If your life is at risk, call Triple Zero (000).

Stay up to date on bush fires in your area by checking Fires Near Me, the NSW RFS website, listening to your local radio station, or by calling the NSW RFS Bush Fire Information Line on 1800 679 737.

If you have a respiratory condition and may be affected by smoke, activate your health management plan and seek medical advice if necessary. Take precautions, such as staying indoors and closing windows.

The Coolagolite fire has been raised to an Emergency Warning. It is the highest level of bushfire alert and people in the area are being warned they may be in danger and need to take action immediately.

The RFS warns any delay now puts your life at risk.

“Coolagolite fire is burning in an easterly direction under very strong winds, message for Bermagui, Barraga Bay, and Cuttagee. It is too late to leave. Shelter now,” the RFS has said.

Two separate fires previously appearing on the Hazards NSW app in the nearby Quaama area have now been removed.

At 1.12pm the RFS said the Coolagolite fire was escalating rapidly and raised the advice level to Watch and Act. Residents from Coolagolite to Bermagui are advised to act on their Bush Fire Survival Plans, the RFS said.

There is also an power outage affecting 2355 customers in the Bermagui, Cobargo, Quaama and Tilba Tilba areas.

An Essential Energy spokeswoman was unable to say if the two events were connected at this stage.

The spokeswoman said network prtection equipment cut in at 12.04pm on Tuesday, October 3 after a fault was detected on a power line.

The power was coming from Bega and is being reconfigured to come from Narooma and customers should have power restored by 2.45pm, the spokeswoman said.

She said Essential Energy had all crews deployed in the area, where they were patrolling to find the fault.

“We had tried to get a helicopter up to help locate the fault but the winds were too strong,” the spokeswoman said.

Essential Energy reminds everyone to stay at least 8metres away from any fallen power lines and to report it to Essential Energy on 13 20 80.
