DFES issued an emergency warning for areas south of Perth including parts of The Spectacles, Orelia, Medina, Naval Base, Postans, Kwinana Beach and Hope Valley.
Another emergency warning was issued for people in an area in Rockingham south-east of Perth bounded by Point Peron Road, Memorial Drive, Lease Road, Arcadia Drive, Liverpool Street and Safety Bay Road.
People in these areas must act immediately to survive, DFES says.
“If the way is clear, leave now for a safer place,” it said.
It’s too late to leave home for those in an area bounded by Beard Road, Rockingham Road, Thomas Road and the coast, as hazardous fumes are in the air.
Those residents should remain inside with doors and windows closed and air conditioners switched off.
For those who can’t leave, they should be ready to shelter at home.
Anyone self-isolating or quarantining because of Covid-19 should leave and shelter with family or friends away from the area.
If they can’t return to their quarantine location within one hour, they should call police.
An earlier emergency warning for Karloo in greater Geraldton has now been downgraded to watch and act.
While the fire has been contained, there are still concerns changing weather conditions expected on Monday could revive the threat.
An emergency warning was also issued for an area in Gosnells but it was later downgraded to a watch and act as the fire became stationary.
