A BUSHFIRE is threatening homes in the east part of Rockingham, south of Perth, with authorities issuing a watch and act alert.
The alert has been issued for people in an area bounded by Day Road, Dixon Road and Mandurah Road in the eastern part of Hillman in Rockingham.
The 12-hectare fire, which began around 10.30am (WST) on Thursday and which is being treated as suspicious, is burning in an area bounded by Dixon Road, Darile Road and Lawson Road and is burning towards Dixon Road.
The Department of Fire and Emergency services (DFES) said there was a possible threat to lives and homes as a fire is approaching the area and conditions were changing.
Residents needed to leave or get ready to actively defend their homes, DFES said.
The bushfire is said to be moving slowly in a north-easterly direction towards Dixon Road, and is contained and not controlled.
Firefighters from Hope Valley, Rockingham and Success Fire Rescue Service and volunteer firefighters from Baldivis, Kwinana South, Mandogalup Bushfire Brigades and Rockingham Volunteer Fire Rescue Service were all on the scene.
Three helitacs and one air-intelligence helicopter are assisting ground crews and protecting homes.
