Warnings for WA bushfires downgraded to watch and act

An emergency bushfire warning issued for people in Grey, north of Perth, has been downgraded to watch and act.

The Department of Fire and Emergency Services says residents in the shire of Dandaragan should remain vigilant after a bushfire was sparked by lightning.

The fire has receded.

A second bushfire emergency warning for people in Forrestdale in the West Australian city of Armadale has also been downgraded to watch and act.

The fire has been controlled but not contained and burning embers still pose a possible threat.

Residents of Forrestdale, in an area east of Nicholson Road, south of Armadale Road, west of Tonkin Highway and north of Rowley Road are under possible threat and should either leave now or prepare to defend their homes.

A number of roads have been closed including the Tonkin Highway at Rowley Road and Forrest Road and Twelfth Road at Forrest Road and Armadale Road.
