Firefighters are working to control a bushfire burning near Bullsbrook, in Perth’s north.<\/p>\n

The fire started near the Tonkin Highway and Neaves Rd interchange, about 43 kilometres north of the city.<\/p>\n

It is burning near an alpaca farm and strawberry farm, a few kilometres west of the Bullsbrook town site.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are unconfirmed reports of animals being impacted by the fire, and a shed being destroyed.<\/p>\n

The fire was downgraded from an emergency warning about 3:40pm local time, after burning for more than two hours.<\/p>\n

Locals who spoke to the ABC reported seeing “explosions” of black smoke believed to be caused by the electrical boxes which run the farm.<\/p>\n

News helicopter footage shows plumes of white smoke rising from a field just metres from the fruit farm on Davidson St.<\/p>\n

The smoke can be seen continuing to gush out from the swampy terrain as fire crews are trying to put out the fire.<\/p>\n

At least five helicopters were deployed to help fight the fire, and several fire crews can be seen on the ground.<\/p>\n

The bushfire is burning in a westerly direction.<\/p>\n

Neighbour Daphne Dhimitri said she was worried as the landscape was so dry.<\/p>\n

“[The firefighters have been] brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. They\u2019re right on top of it,” she said.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s like continuous, continuous, continuous [water drops]. Hats off to them \u2013 they\u2019ve done a wonderful job.”<\/p>\n

An earlier emergency warning issued for a fire burning further south near Landsdale has also since been downgraded.<\/p>\n

In that area, large plumes of black smoke were seen rising from the Gnangara pine plantation.<\/p>\n
