Wildfires

Wildfires - Australia

Firefighters are battling 10-metre high flames as two bushfires tear through suburbs in Perth's south.

An alert for a bushfire that was burning out of control on Tuesday in Kwinana and Rockingham, in Perth's south, has been downgraded.

The Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) issued a watch and act for people in the area as more than 200 firefighters worked to bring the blaze under control.

The Kwinana Freeway northbound between Safety Bay Road and Mortimer Road remained closed.

Earlier, flames from a bushfire that threatened homes in the southern Perth suburbs of Baldivis and Wellard reached 10 metres in height, and a fire in Pinjar in the city's north was downgraded.
