Lives and homes are under threat in Perth's south-eastern suburbs and in the city's north-east as two fast-moving bushfires reach emergency warning level.
Residents in parts of Kenwick, Wattle Grove, Maddington and Beckenham have been told to leave, as have those in parts of Upper Swan and Bullsbrook, on the city's eastern fringe.
The total area under threat is about 50 hectares, and a Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) spokesman said it was believed some "outside structures" had been lost.
The bushfire is moving in an easterly direction, and DFES says homes on Bickley and Boundary Roads are under threat.
