DANIEL MERCERThe West Australian Motorists in the South-West are warned to take care this morning as heavy smoke is blanketing Nannup. The Environment and Conservation Department said wind


had blown smoke from a prescribed burn over Brockman Highway between Nannup and Karridale, and Sues Road between Mowen Road and Brockman Highway. Duty officer John Carter said the burn was


carried out 25km south-west of Nannup. Mr Carter said the smoke would make driving dangerous. He also warned people who suffered smoke-related breathing difficulties take precautions.


"Motorists are urged to take care when travelling through the area," he said. "Conditions are still at the moment however light easterly winds are expected to clear the smoke


haze as the day progresses. "The burn is part of the State's prescribed spring burning program undertaken to protect community and biodiversity assets from summer wildfires."
