Fire retardant dropped from an air tanker has helped stop an out-of-control bushfire in Perth's northeast, but residents are still being told they are in immediate danger.
The massive blaze with a 126km perimeter is moving in a northwesterly direction along the city's coastal plain after destroying 71 homes near the hills town of Wooroloo on Monday night.
Residents in the suburbs of Shady Hills View and Bullsbrook - where the RAAF Base Pearce is located - have been told it is too late to leave.
The DFES said people in or around Clenton Road and Berry Road at Gidgegannup need to shelter in place or actively defend only if they are prepared to the highest level.
