A massive bushfire raging northeast of Perth, Australia, kept burning for the fourth day on Thursday (February 4).

Footage recorded by @gregwhite928 on Wednesday (February 1) in Gidgegannup, a township 40 kilometers northeast of Perth, shows the raging bushfire encircling a home.

The homeowner, who posted the video on social media, wrote: "Words can’t express how grateful I am to @gregwhite928 who stayed and protected our home from the fire that is currently devastating the Perth hills area. He also managed to save a neighbours home (and also checked in to make sure their cats were ok and fed). Hope you sleep well tonight."

The fast-moving fire has burnt more than 10,400 hectares, over 70 homes in the Perth hills, and prompted hundreds to evacuate.
