<p>Wildfires have torn across the outskirts of an Australian city, destroying at least 35 homes and injuring a firefighter, authorities said.</p>
<p>Two fires fanned by hot summer winds were burning in forested areas to the north and southeast of Perth in Western Australia state, the Fire and Emergency Services Authority said.</p>
<p>At Roleystone and the nearby community of Kelmscott, residents were told to evacuate from the path of a fire that had claimed 35 homes and was threatening more, the authority said.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is a threat to lives and homes. You are in danger and need to act immediately to survive,&#8221; it said in a warning statement. It said people should leave immediately if they believe the path is clear, otherwise they should dig in and be prepared to take shelter in their homes.</p>
<p>Television news showed a fire front raging and several houses burned to the ground in the area, a hilly region where houses are nestled among trees on large blocks of land.</p>
<p>Authority spokesman Rick Tyers said the strong winds and huge plumes of smoke were making firefighting very difficult.</p>
<p>The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that one firefighter was taken to a hospital.</p>
<p>Further north, in the Swan Valley district, some 150 firefighters using six water-bombing helicopters and trucks were battling another wildfire.</p>
<p>About 100 people were told to evacuate their homes as authorities tried to contain the blaze, which has scorched about 2,000 acres of forest land so far.</p>
<p>The fires in Australia&#8217;s far west come as huge areas of the east coast recover from a huge cyclone that struck in Queensland state last week and from flooding from drenching rains in Queensland and in southern Victoria state.</p>
