A bushfire burning north of Perth that had threatened homes and lives has been downgraded to a watch and act level.

The fire which started on Friday near Gray Road in Bindoon, about 84km north of the West Australian capital, was downgraded as it was contained and stationary.

The alert area stretches from Hidaway Drive to the east, Forrest Hills Parade to the south, Teatree Road to the west and Mooliabeenee Road to the north in the western part of Bindoon.

Authorities said late on Friday evening that there was a lot of smoke in the area but no longer a threat to lives or homes.

"Although there is no immediate danger you need to be aware and keep up to date in case the situation changes," the alert reads.
