Officers from Fire and Rescue NSW say they're shocked and dismayed by the number of deliberately lit grass fires across the Hunter in recent days.
Crews from the Hunter and Central Coast were called to the decommissioned Munmorah Power Station on Monday morning to find two conveyor belts had been set alight which subsequently spread to nearby bushland.
RFS crews are still monitoring the fire which has burnt though more than 50 hectares.
It's believed a firebug is also responsible for lighting several grass fires in the early hours of the morning around Windale, Gateshead and Bennetts Green.
Crews are busy trying to mop up several fires before hot and windy conditions arrive on Wednesday.
