Perth ’s spring sky has been turned a thick smoky grey thanks to prescribed burns on the outskirts of the city, with reports that “ash” is falling in some suburbs. A smoke alert for the metropolitan area and adjoining Perth Hills was issued earlier on Wednesday by the Department of Fire and Emergency Services WA . Prescribed burns east of Bedfordale, north of Guilderton, north of Boddington and on private property were expected to drive the haze. 7 NEWS .com.
“Thick smoke and even ash falling in Kenwick.” Another said it “looks like Armageddon”, while a third said the “wretched burn off smoke is killing me”. With smoke in the area, Main Roads WA warned drivers on Roe Hwy near Kenwick Link in Beckenham to switch on their lights and allow for extra braking distance. Another person commenting online fumed that a “beautiful sunny day” had been ruined by burn-offs that had blanketed the whole city in smoke.
