A BUSHFIRE threatening homes in Western Australia's southwest has been contained but firefighters warn it is not yet under control.
It has burned out 40 hectares in the southern part of Ambergate, in the city of Busselton, with authorities saying the cause of the blaze was suspicious.
DFES says the fire is contained but there is the potential for it to jump containment lines and impact nearby properties.
The fire started between Queen Elizabeth Avenue and Doyle Road near the Ambergate Nature Reserve.
It is moving slowly in a northwesterly direction towards the intersection of Ambergate Road and Edwards Road.
In a separate blaze, homes and plantations are being threatened by 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 northeastern part of Carnarvon, on the state's north coast.
DFES said the fire, which started this morning, could affect plantations along North River Road.
Residents have been advised to put their bushfire survival plan into action.
DFES says the out of control and unpredictable bushfire is moving slowly in a north-westerly direction along Miaboolya Road.
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.
