AN alert for a bushfire burning in Perth's southern fringe has been downgraded, but authorities warn there is still a danger to residents as the unpredictable blaze rages on.
An emergency warning was issued at 4.15pm (WST) on Tuesday but was downgraded to a watch and act alert at 5.30pm for people in an area bounded by Hella Kipper Drive, Nettleton Road and Manjedal Road, in the southern part of Karrakup, in the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale.
The fire started between South Western Highway and Norman Road in Cardup at 3.20pm.
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) said fire crews on the ground and air support worked hard to slow the spread of the fire, which resulted in the alert level being downgraded.
"There is still a possible threat to lives and homes as a fire is approaching the area and conditions are changing," the department warns.
"You need to leave or get ready to actively defend."
The bushfire, which is still out of control, is moving in a northeasterly direction towards Nettleton Road.
Burning embers were likely to be blown around homes and spot fires were starting ahead of the fire, the DFES said.
The flames have so far burnt about 28 hectares.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
