Fire crews are at the scene of an out of control bush fire at Camberwell north of Singleton.
The Rural Fire Service has just issued an Emergency Warning for residents.
The fire is burning in the vicinity of McInerney Rd, Alpha Street, Lethbridge Street, New England Highway, Glennie Street, Dyrring Street, Dawson Street and Dulwich Place.
The fire has crossed the New England Highway and is heading towards Camberwell Village.
The RFS says residents should shelter in place as the fire front arrives and take advice from firefighters in the area.
So, far it's more than 10 hectares neat the historic village and the New England Highway is closed in both directions.
The Transport Management Centre says motorists should use the Golden Highway instead and allow extra travel time.
