Watch-and-act alerts for parts of Perth

Watch-and-act warnings remain in place for parts of northeast Perth as fires threaten lives and property. Firefighters reported a number of structures have been destroyed but no homes have been lost yet. Strong winds have fanned the fire, which has so far burned through 700 hectares of land. Challenging terrain meant crews deployed heavy air tankers over the fire zone. Residents in Red Hill, Millendon, Herne Hill, and Baskerville have been told to remain on alert and monitor for conditions.
