The fire was reported around 1:30pm and currently at advice level status.
High temperatures combined with dry conditions resulted in today being declared a Total Fire Ban.
Earlier today the RFS Hunter Valley released an update on four fires burning in remote areas of Wollemi NP near Widden Valley and an additional two fires 9kms west of Bulga also in Wollemi NP. These fires are being controlled by NPWS remote area firefighters and assisted by aircraft.
There is an additional fire burning in the Pokolbin area with Forestry fire crews in attendance. This fire is in the Lower Hunter area but may be seen from the Hunter Valley area
All of these fires started as a result of lightning strikes earlier this week.
If you see a fire without a fire truck in attendance (not just smoke in the distance) please call triple zero 000 immediately. DO NOT report fires via social media pages.
