The fire located in inaccessible terrain just north of the intersection of Carrowbrook and Mount Royal roads was started by a lightning strike on Friday and has so far burnt out 100 hectares.
RFS have four units on the scene with another eight now responding as the fire is moving quickly in a south easterly direction.
Currently at ‘advice’ level the fire is creating a large amount of smoke.
RFS reports no properties are under threat at this stage.

From cattle to coal. Once a specialist agriculture writer today its about community, in particular, the Upper Hunter. I have lived and worked in the region for more than 30 years. Land use issues and the future direction of our region. But you cannot take ag out of the picture - our food and how we grow it is the basis of all life. Covering the Hunter and Mid North Coast rural issues is now part of my role with ACM.
