Two bushfires were ignited by controlled burns in the Shire of Murray, east of Mandurah, prompting warnings on Tuesday. The first fire started Monday afternoon near Fairbridge, producing heavy smoke in the area. An advice warning was updated Tuesday morning, indicating no threat to lives or homes, but residents were urged to stay alert. Del Park Road remains open with speed restrictions for firefighter safety.
A second fire began Tuesday afternoon in Barragup, near Lowline Way and Fiegert Road. Fire crews responded to the scene. While there is no immediate danger to lives or homes, nearby residents are advised to remain vigilant and monitor their surroundings.
