Firefighters have contained the bushfire that was tearing through parts of Western Australia's Wheatbelt on Wednesday afternoon. The blaze, which had threatened lives and homes, is now under control but not yet fully extinguished.
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services has downgraded the warning to a watch and act alert for people along Goldfields Road between Quairading Road and Rabbit Proof Fence South Road in parts of Cunderdin, South Tammin and Youndegin. A possible threat to lives and homes remains as conditions are changing.
There is no longer a threat to lives and homes in an area bound by Cunderdin Quairading Road, Eight Mile Gate Road, Harris Road and Kitto Rodgers Road in Cunderdin, South Tammin and Youndegin. Firefighters are actively fighting the fire, and motorists are advised to avoid the area, reduce speed, and drive carefully.
