A bushfire in the Kelmscott-Martin area was brought under control on Monday night after burning nearly five hectares of land.
The fire was first reported at 5.04pm on Monday, January 12 near Turner Road and Taronga Drive in Kelmscott, according to a Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) spokesperson.
Fire crews from Armadale, Cardup, Cockburn, Canning Vale, Hope Valley and Maddington fire and rescue stations responded.
They were supported by bushfire brigades from Roleystone, Karragullen and Bedfordale.
Aerial support was deployed as crews battled the blaze, with aircraft assisting operations at about 7.10pm.
At that time, the fire was controlled but not contained and had burnt 4.7 hectares of land.

DFES said the fire was contained and no longer posed a threat to lives or homes.
