A bushfire is threatening parts of Western Australia’s Margaret River Region. 

The Department of Fire and Emergency services issued a warning yesterday morning to those still in the region, saying it was too late to leave, and they needed to act immediately to survive.

Residents are being urged to keep all windows and doors closed and stay in a room furthest from the fire front. 

The department says, "If your home catches on fire and the conditions inside become unbearable, you need to get out and go to an area that has already been burnt."
