Smoke alert for suburbs between Byford and Pinjarra

PIC: File

A smoke alert has been issued for southern suburbs including Mandurah, Rockingham, Byford, North Dandalup and Pinjarra.

It's the second smoke alert for the Mandurah area in as many days.

The smoke is the result of two prescribed burns being carried out in the southern suburbs today.

The good news is the smoke is expected to clear first thing tomorrow.

WHAT TO DO:  

  • If the smoke is particularly thick, it is recommended people shut doors and windows and turn off air-conditioners.
  • Smoke may reduce visibility on some roads and motorists should take care, turn on headlights and travel at appropriate speeds when travelling in these areas.
  • People with asthma and pre-existing respiratory or cardiovascular illnesses should follow their pre-prepared treatment plan.
  • People with conditions exacerbated by smoke should take precautions in line with their medical advice for these circumstances.
