Lives and properties remain under threat from a out-of-control bushfire in Western Australia's South West region.
An emergency warning remains in place for south of Uduc in the Shire of Harvey including the Wokalup townsite, the Thornton Housing Estate and the Myalup Freshwater Lakes Estate.
The fire was moving east towards Government Road on Monday evening.
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services says about 300 firefighters are protecting houses and infrastructure and building and strengthening containment lines, while aerial support is assisting ground crews.
DFES says hot weather will continue to challenge firefighters in coming days, while variable winds will test containment lines.
The size of the fire, which was reported on Sunday afternoon, is about 1100 hectares and the cause is unknown.
Watch and act warnings are in place for areas including the Harvey townsite and the towns of Myalup and Binningup.
The same shire was devastated by a lightning-sparked bushfire last month that also ravaged the neighbouring shire of Waroona, killing two people and destroying 181 homes and businesses.
