A bushfire warning in Perth’s south has been downgraded, with the Department of Fire and Emergency Services confirming the blaze is “no longer impacting the community”.

DFES downgraded the emergency warning to a watch an act about 7pm on Thursday, for locals living south of Bartram Road and east of Tapper Road, west of Liddlelow Road and north of Coffey Road in Aubin Grove and Banjup, in the City of Cockburn.

The blaze — which was reported about 2.40pm on Thursday — is controlled but not contained, with firefighters still patrolling the scene and mopping up.

“The alert level for this fire has been downgraded as the fire is now controlled and no longer impacting the community,” a DFES spokesperson said.

“There is no threat to lives and homes.

“Continue to stay alert and monitor your surroundings.

“Watch for signs of a bushfire, especially smoke and flames.”

A number of roads, including Gibbs Road, have been closed.

A separate advice warning is also in place for parts of Jandakot, Treeby and Aubin Grove.

Residents have been advised to stay alert for smoke, fallen trees and power poles.
