An emergency bushfire warning is in place for parts of Martin in Perth’s south-east.

“Increasing wind gusts are putting pressure on containment lines, with 200 firefighters on the scene, actively fighting the blaze,” Gareth Parker told his 6PR Breakfast listeners.

A bushfire EMERGENCY WARNING is in place for people in an area bounded by Canning Mills Road and Mills Road East to the south, the Powerline Track to the west, Suneca Road to the east, and Versteeg Grove to the north, near Korung National Park, in parts of MARTIN in the CITY OF GOSNELLS.

“You are in danger and need to act immediately to survive. There is a threat to lives and homes,” the emergency warning said.

“The alert level for this fire has been upgraded as the fire is burning towards a residential area.”

The fire started near the intersection of CANNING RD and CANNING MILLS ROAD in CANNING MILLS.

Meanwhile there is another emergency bushfire in Kirup in the South West, which is moving slowly in a north-easterly direction.

The warning is in place for people in an area bounded by Ravenscliffe Road to the south and east, and Upper Capel Road to the north near KIRUP in the SHIRE OF DONNYBROOK-BALINGUP.

“You are in danger and need to act immediately to survive. There is a threat to lives and homes. Homes in Nieuwenhuyze Road and Upper Capel Road are under threat by fire now,” the emergency warning said.

The fire started on Ravenscliffe Road near KIRUP and is moving in a north-westerly direction.
