Alerts for a bushfire which threatened lives and homes on Perth's southern outskirts have been downgraded.
An emergency warning was put in place early on Monday for parts of The Spectacles, Orelia, Medina, Naval Base, Postans, Kwinana Beach and Hope Valley.
By early afternoon that was reduced to a watch and act message.
The blaze has destroyed about 240 hectares of scrub since it was sparked on Sunday afternoon but the cause is yet to be determined.
At one stage it spread to a rubbish tip at Medina, sending toxic fumes into the air.
About 120 firefighters remain on the scene.
Meanwhile, the threat from other fires in Western Australia has reduced including those at Rockingham, south of Perth, and two in the outer Perth suburbs.
The fire came as hot conditions prevailed across much of WA with the city forecast to have top temperatures in the mid-to-high 30s all week.
