More locals were asked to evacuate their homes in Perths northeast on Thursday after more than 80 homes were destroyed in bushfires that began earlier this week.

As the blazes continue while the Western Australian capital is on a five-day coronavirus lockdown, a local Sikh temple has been delivering food and drinks to firefighters and evacuees.

Jarnail Singh Bhaur, the secretary of the Sikh Gurudwara in Bennett Springs , said the temple was filled with at least 100 evacuees on Tuesday morning when nearby Ellenbrook residents including him and his family were asked by authorities to leave their homes.

Because its the middle of the night and its COVID lockdown, its very hard for people to go anywhere, Bhaur told HuffPost Australia on Thursday.
