Firefighters were sent to two bushfires as Mandurah south of Perth woke up to its hottest day in December, hitting 31C by 9am local time, one of them along one of the city's main roads.
On the south side of Old Coast Road in Erskine, just south of Halls Head, at about 1 pm local time this afternoon, helicopters were seen dousing the fire for around an hour.
A bushfire alert was given, with residents warned of heavy smoke in the area. The fire's trigger is still unclear. And a bushfire warning was also released for parts of Coodanup, south of the area, just before 3.30pm.
Both blazes were contained and firefighters were left mopping up and strengthening containment lines at the scene.
