Two homes have been burgled as investigators continue to probe the cause of the Perth Hills bushfire that has destroyed at least 71 properties.

Commissioner Chris Dawson revealed an Aveley home that was evacuated as a precaution and another property in Red Hill had been targeted by criminals.“I would not characterise this as looting, but it is of course a serious concern that there have been two burglaries in those locations.”Meanwhile, reports that the blaze may have been started by fireworks then accelerated by a meth lab appear to have been debunked.

Mr Dawson said police were “quite certain” the blaze started on Werribee Road near Great Eastern Highway. Mr Klemm said the main concern for Wednesday was the northwest portion of the fire, including Shady Hills Estate. Volunteers gather before starting their shift to fight the bushfire in the Perth Hills, which has burnt through more than 9000 hectares of land.
