Fire fighters are gaining the upper hand on a blaze burning in remote bush southwest of Singleton.
The fire near Howes Valley was upgraded to Watch and Act yesterday evening, but thankfully was downgraded late last night as fire activity subsided.
The blaze has now burnt through more than 3,500 hectares in difficult terrain, and the Rural Fire Service says there are a couple of isolated properties within the fire area, but at the stage no homes are under threat.
"The winds haven't been too bad but its certainly been really hot and dry in the area," said an RFS spokesperson.
Crews remain on the fire ground monitoring the conditions.
The advice from the RFS is to follow the advice of firefighters in the area and check and follow your Bush Fire Survival Plan.
