A homeless camp in Mandurah has gone up in flames.
The blaze broke out on a vacant block around 6.30pm on Monday with black smoke seen billowing into the air from kilometres away.
Daniel Fletcher and his pregnant partner lost their caravan and belongings in the blaze.
"The whole caravan, the little rooms I built on the side, the kitchen and stuff, everything is gone," Mr Fletcher told 7News.

It is understood a local GP owns the land and allowed the couple to stay on his property for the last couple of months while they found a more suitable living arrangement.
The cause was deemed accidental, sparked by a generator catching fire while it was being refueled.
The City of Mandurah said they are working with the property owner at Hall Street to ensure the site can be cleaned and made safe.
"The City of Mandurah has been proactively trying to address the situation at Hall Street where multiple people are camping on private property," a City of Mandurah spokesperson said.
"This has included issuing notices to the property owner in an effort to clear the property of rubbish and unauthorised structures for health and safety reasons and acting on concerns raised by nearby residents.
"However, this is not a simple fix of moving people on.
"The City has strong relationships with community partners including WA Police, the Department of Communities and Office of Homelessness, WA Alliance to End Homelessness and local service providers to address homelessness in Mandurah, including the St Pat’s local outreach service.
"Through collective efforts and action, support services are there to assist people who are sleeping rough with accommodation, health, and social support needs.
"The City has also advocated strongly for more suitable housing options locally, including Mandurah’s Common Ground project, and people are also encouraged to access other services and facilities outside of Mandurah."
The Mandurah Common Ground facility is currently under construction on Allnutt Street and will provide 50 self-contained apartments for people experiencing homelessness.
The facility is set to open in late-2026.
