ABOUT 20 hectares have been burnt from a fire in grassland near Stratton and Middle Swan that authorities believe may have been deliberately lit.
Three helitacs have helped fire crews to fight the blaze, which has been contained to an area north of Roe Highway, between the Great Northern Highway and the railway line.
The fire, which was reported just before 11am, is now contained and controlled.
A bushfire advice issued by the Department of Fire and Emergency Services remains in place this afternoon and motorists are warned to take caution when driving through smoke an areas of low visibility.
DFES advises people living in the area to watch for signs of a bushfire, especially smoke and flames, and to close all doors and windows, and turn off evaporative air conditioners but keep water running through the system if possible.
All roads around the fire that were closed are now open again.
This evening, more than 40 fire fighters were battling the blaze and three helitacs are helping to strengthen containment lines and track the fire.
WA Police and the City of Swan are also attending the fire and fire crews will remain at the scene overnight.
The cause of the fire is suspicious and people are asked to report any suspicious behaviour to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
