PERTH: Skies above Perth were blanketed by orange hues after a bushfire broke out on Sunday (Jan 14) in Mundaring in Perth Hills.
Residents in the Australian city woke up to smokey skies tinted with orange on Sunday and were told that the fire was "a possible threat" according to a Facebook post by the Department of Fire and Emergency Services West Australia.
The flames were seen to rise up to 35m into the air, but were brought under control, reported 9 News.

About 150 firefighters were still battling the fire on Monday, but the West Australia Parks and Wildlife downgraded the fire's threat warning to an "advice" on Sunday evening.
Residents were still urged to remain vigilant.
Police believe that the fire was deliberately lit, but nobody was hurt, said the BBC.
Throughout the ordeal, social media users took to Twitter to post pictures of the vividly-coloured skies.

Kebakaran hutan melanda Australia
![]()
SEBUAH helikopter menggugurkan bom air bagi memadamkan kebakaran hutan di pinggir bandar Cobden, Melbourne semalam.
MELBOURNE – Sejumlah kediaman terbakar, haiwan ternakan mati dan kawasan luas hangus dalam kebakaran hutan yang melanda Australia ketika cuaca panas semalam.
Berpuluh-puluh kebakaran hutan bermula di barat dan barat daya negeri Victoria kelmarin dengan keadaan semakin buruk berikutan perubahan arah angin awal semalam.
“Sekitar 40,000 hektar ta*nah musnah dan beratus-ratus ekor lembu daging serta tenusu mati akibat kebakaran hu*tan ini,” Pesuruhjaya Pe*ngurusan Kecemasan Victoria, Craig Lapsley memberitahu pemberita semalam.
Sehingga 12 kediaman terjejas, tambahnya, manakala badan penyiaran ABC melaporkan bahawa semua rumah itu hangus terbakar.
“Kita ada kebakaran, kebakaran besar, masih marak. Api akan semakin besar sebelum kita dapat mengawalnya,” kata Lapsley selepas biro kaji cuaca meramalkan angin bertiup kencang selaju 110 kilometer sejam.
Pegawai bomba Colac di barat Victoria, Andrew Morror berkata, dua kebakaran besar, setiap satu berukuran 3,000 hektar dan 6,500 hektar merebak ke barat akibat perubahan arah angin.
Dalam pada itu, penduduk di bandar Terang, barat daya Melbourne yang merupakan salah sebuah kawasan paling teruk terjejas diberitahu oleh pihak berkuasa bahawa masa sudah suntuk untuk berpindah.
Mereka sebaliknya diminta berlindung di kediaman ma*sing-masing dengan segera.
Beribu-ribu kediaman terputus bekalan elektrik dalam bencana itu, manakala beberapa rantau lain mengeluarkan arahan berpindah ekoran kebimbangan kebakaran lebih kecil akan bergabung merebak ekoran perubahan arah angin. – AFP
