An emergency warning has been issued for a bushfire threatening lives in High Wycombe in Perth's eastern foothills.

Residents in the suburb's northeast are warned they are in danger and need to act immediately to survive.

Affected residents should leave now if there is a clear path or prepare to actively defend their home, the Department of Fire and Emergency Services said on Friday.

Those who remain should close all doors and windows and turn off evaporative air conditioners but keep water running through the system if possible.
