A bushfire tore through suburbs on the outskirts of Perth, leaving residents fearing for their homes.

The blaze was first reported around 2 pm on Wednesday, with up to 13 ground crews and a water bomber deployed to battle the blaze along Roe Highway near Maida Vale Road.

Footage shows a fire truck heading to the site as smoke blanketed the area.

The filmer said: 'Although a snow bomb is forecast for the UK, here in Victoria we're on fire. 40 degrees Celsius heat, winds at 30-40 mph, and smoke everywhere.'

Authorities confirmed the flames had scorched at least 10 hectares of native vegetation and bushland. No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
