Bridgetown in Western Australia's south-west has been evacuated due to an emergency level bushfire that local authorities fear has destroyed property.

Residents were urged to leave Bridgetown and head to the nearby town of Manjimup on Saturday afternoon.

Some fear their homes have been lost.

At least 200 people were at the evacuation centre in Manjimup.

The town's hospital was evacuated, as was an aged care home, with patients sent to Manjimup and Pemberton.

The Department of Fire and Emergency Service's duty commissioner Rick Curtis said the fire escalated rapidly on Saturday afternoon.
