Firefighters are mopping up after a vehicle fire spread to nearby bushland along the Kwinana Freeway in Baldivis on Sunday.
A white SUV caught alight around 12.40pm in the southbound lanes of the freeway just after the Karnup Road exit.
The flames then sparked a bushfire which prompted an advice warning for motorists and nearby residents.
