Remote station communities in Western Australia's northwest remain under threat from a bushfire that started on Christmas Eve.Authorities on Monday warned there was a possible threat to lives and property as the fire burnt towards Yanrey and Koordarrie stations, south of Onslow.
A bushfire watch and act alert remains in place for the stations and Giralia Station, with residents advised to leave or get ready to actively defend their properties.
The fire began on Saturday near Marilla Station, about 1200km north of Perth, before burning through 150,000 hectares of land.
Firefighters continue to strengthen containment lines to secure Burkett Road, which has been closed to incoming traffic. Source
