RESIDENTS in Esperance on Western Australia's south coast have been put on a downgraded Watch and Act alert after a fire raging in the area was finally contained by firefighters.
At least one home was damaged by the blaze in the area between Eleven Mile Beach Road, Spencer Road and Keenan Road in Pink Lake.
Late on Monday night firefighters got the fire under control, but there remained a threat to lives and homes if weather conditions changed.
Esperance shire president Malcolm Heasman said one property had suffered internal damage to its roof.
"And obviously there will be internal damage from water and one thing or another, but essentially, the house is standing," Mr Heasman told ABC radio.
He said Eleven Mille Beach Road, where the fire commenced, "looks like a devastation zone".
So far, about 500 hectares have burnt since the fire was reported about 12.30pm (WST).
