A BUSHFIRE that was threatening homes in Dwellingup, south of Perth, has been contained.
The blaze, which is believed to have been started when a burn-off on private land went wrong, prompted a watch and act alert for people near Pinjarra Williams Road in the eastern part of Dwellingup.
But within an hour and a half, the Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW) had downgraded the alert to an advice, saying the fire had been contained but not controlled.
``There is no threat to lives or homes but there is a lot of smoke in the area,'' DPaW said.
Pinjarra Williams Road is closed from the Dwellingup townsite to the Bannister-Marradong Road, Boddington.
Motorists have been advised to avoid the area.
The bushfire, which was reported at 11:40am (WST), is moving slowly in a south-westerly direction and has burnt through 15 hectares.
DPaW said 30 firefighters were on the scene using a front-end loader, a bulldozer and water bombers.
