BUSHFIRES NT has issued an “advice” alert for Mira Rd in Darwin River after a fire started in the area at about 2pm.
A spokesman said the fire was currently “spreading on one or more fronts” and effective containment strategies were not yet in place for the entire perimeter.
The spokesman said smoke from the fire could affect visibility and spotfires could spring up close to the roadside near where fire crews would be working.
“For the safety of firefighting crews and other vehicles, drivers in the area are urged to slow down, turn on headlights and drive safely for the conditions,” he said.
The situation is expected to continue until 8pm.
