Perth bushfires LIVE: Homes in Perth's north face 'imminent' threat as fire front approaches

Very hot temperatures and strong easterly winds have created a perfect storm for fire conditions in Perth's metropolitan area, and a fire near Lancelin, north of Perth, will be firefighters' main concern today as several bushfires north, south and east of the city are stretching crews.

A massive blaze near Lancelin remains frefighter's first priority after the fire has been burning for a fifth day. The fire most likely will reach houses at the Ocean Farms Estate today.
Unexploded ordnance from the old Lancelin bombing range surrounding the suburb of Wedge Island, which is directly on the fire's path, is a major concern for firefighters.
Bushfires are also burning in the Shire of Mundaring, Kwinana, Northam, Ravensthorpe, Rockingham and Geraldton
