The bushfire that began on Sunday ended up razing 68 homes and 440 hectares in the Perth Hills is now under control.

WA Fire and Emergency Services Authority's (FESA) Bruce Telfer confirmed that firefighters consolidated containment lines around the fire. "Firefighters have worked really hard throughout the night consolidating the fire breaks that were established around the fire and also mopping up to make sure that aerial fuels are accounted for, as well as the ground mop-up to make sure that no embers can get over the fireline we've established," he told Fairfax Radio Network.

FESA said, firefighters managed to save a number of homes, sheds and fences. It advises residents in Roleystone and Kelmscott to be on their guard because of strong winds in the area. Evacuated residents of Perth Hills were told the state of their homes yesterday.

Authorities say that ember attack still pose a risk to properties and the area was still considered dangerous due to trees and power poles.

Perth, Perth Hills, Mandurah and the nearby areas are now under a total fire ban.
