The Fire and Emergency Services Authority has issued a “bushfire all clear” notice for the Wickham townsite and motorists travelling on the Point Samson to Roebourne Road.

The bushfire that was burning southwest of Wickham near the motocross track and Tank Hill is now under control, but firefighters will continue to monitor the area.

“The danger has passed but you need to remain vigilant in case the situation changes,” FESA said in a statement.

FESA also said that the cause of the fire is suspicious.

People are asked to report any suspicious behaviour to Police Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
