The threat has eased from a bushfire that had been burning toward homes in the south-eastern fringe of Perth, with an emergency warning lifted.
The bushfire in Whitby and Mundijong in the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale started near the intersection of South Western Highway and Reilly Road and was reported to authorities just before 5am.
An emergency warning was declared an hour later, but it has now been downgraded to an advice level.
