More than 130 fires were handled by emergency services over the weekend as the Department of Fire and Emergency Services prepares for a very dangerous bushfire season.

Firefighters from the Eastern States have been brought over to help cover the immense areas threatened by fire; this weekend saw large and at times uncontrolled fires shut down parts of Albany Highway and Kwinana Freeway.

DFES Deputy Commissioner of Operations Craig Waters told Millsy and Karl on 6PR Breakfast there’s still two fires burning out of control, marking four days emergency services have worked round-the-clock.

“There’s still a lot of work to do,” Mr Waters said.
