Residents on Australia's Kangaroo Island were informed they had just five minutes to leave their homes as the army coordinated a frantic evacuation from an uncontrolled bushfire.

The Australian Defence Force (ADF) reportedly went door-to-door in a desperate attempt to get people out as the out-of-control blaze drew closer to the town of Parndana.

A 10 News reporter confirmed that locals were told they had just five minutes to get out.

Greens' Senator Sarah Hanson-Young tweeted that Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park has also been evacuated.
