Two bushfires threatening WA homes

Two bushfires are threatening lives and homes in Western Australia as firefighters battle to bring the flames under control.

Two bushfires are threatening lives and homes in Western Australia.

A watch and act alert has been issued for people in Red Gully Road and Fynes Road in Red Gully.

The same warning has been issued for people in Irishtown Road, Miller Road and Meotti Road, in Donnybrook.

"There is a possible threat to lives and homes as a fire is approaching the area and conditions are changing," the Department of Fire and Emergency Services warns.

"You need to leave or get ready to actively defend."

The Red Gully fire is burning out of control on both sides of Red Gully Road and is moving fast in a northwesterly direction.

DFES warns that embers could be blown around homes.

The suspicious Donnybrook blaze is burning south of Irishtown Road and west of Hardy Place.
