The Department of Fire and Emergency Services said while the smoke is expected to clear throughout the day, residents should still take precautions.
"If the smoke is particularly thick, it is recommended people shut doors and windows and turn off air-conditioner," a spokesperson said.
"Smoke may reduce visibility on some roads and motorists should take care, turn on headlights and travel at appropriate speeds when travelling in these areas."
Perth was blanketed in smoke this morning, which caused visibility issues for the city's motorists.Â
