The blaze has torn through large swathes of land in the Perth Hills and was moving towards more densely populated areas. Several emergency warnings were issued with conditions set to worsen later Wednesday and strong gusting winds expected to fan the flames. Hundreds of people have fled the area since the bushfire was sparked on Monday, with many sleeping in evacuation centres overnight.
