Bushfire Destroys Homes in Perth
At Least 10 Homes Lost, Residents Forced to Flee
Authorities Confirm Extent of Damage
A massive bushfire has torn through Perth's northern suburbs, destroying at least 10 homes and sheds. Authorities have confirmed the extent of the damage, as residents were forced to evacuate.
The blaze, fanned by strong winds, has been burning out of control since late Wednesday night. Firefighters have been battling the flames, but the fire has continued to spread.
WA Premier Roger Cook has confirmed that 18 homes have been lost to the fire, with more damage expected. The blaze has also destroyed sheds and other structures.
Residents in the affected areas have been urged to evacuate as the fire continues to burn. Several evacuation centers have been set up to provide shelter for those who have been displaced.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but authorities believe it may have been started by a lightning strike.
