HOMES and plantations are under threat from a bushfire burning about 900 kilometres north of Perth.
A watch and act alert has been issued for people in Miaboolya Road, Bibbawarra Road, North River Road and surrounding areas in the north-eastern part of Carnarvon, on Western Australia's north coast.
Authorities say the fire, which started on Monday morning, could impact plantations along North River Road.
"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 (DFES) says.
"You need to leave or get ready to actively defend."
Residents have been advised to put their bushfire survival plan into action.
DFES says the bushfire is moving slowly in a north-westerly direction along Miaboolya Road.
It is out of control and unpredictable.
Burning embers are likely to be blown around and spot fires could start ahead of the fire, DFES warns.
The cause of the blaze is unknown.
