SIXTY firefighters are battling a bushfire in Perth's southern suburbs that is threatening lives and homes, and has so far burnt through about 49 hectares.
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) updated their emergency warning for Medina, Calista and Leda in the City of Kwinana at 4.40pm (WST), saying the wind had shifted to a north westerly direction, pushing the blaze towards Mandurah Road.
It was earlier burning towards the Kwinana Golf Club after starting between Gentle and Wellard roads.
Residents have been told to act immediately to survive.
A temporary evacuation centre has been set up at the Kwinana Town Council building on the corner of Sulphur Road and Gilmore Avenue in Kwinana.
The bushfire is moving fast, and is out of control and unpredictable.
Spot fires are starting up to 100 metres ahead of the fire.
A watch-and-act alert has also been issued for people in Kwinana Beach, east of Rockingham Road and Patterson Road to the railway line in the City of Kwinana.
A bushfire advisory has been issued for people in Orelia, Kwinana Town Centre and Parmelia.
Aerial support has been sent to assist ground crews.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
