A #bushfire threatening lives and homes in #Perth's hills has been upgraded to emergency level and authorities say strong gusts of wind are fanning the blaze.

An evacuation centre was set up at Brown Park Recreation Complex on Salisbury Road in Swan View.

#Pets, except for recognised assistance #animals, were not allowed inside evacuation centres for health and safety reasons.
People should make alternative arrangements for them. If this was not possible, people should still proceed to the evacuation centre with their pets and await further advice.
