In the Canobolas Zone area there have been 2 separate burns, along the Fabe Kerin Trail and the Claggers Springs Trail with the treated area totalling some 1200ha.
The area involved hasn't been burnt since the high intensity wildfire back in 2000. Fire trail work has been extensive since that time and crews used favourable weather conditions with aerial incendiary assistance to complete the burns.
Whilst burning is wrapping up today there will be smoke issuing from the area for the next few days as heavier fuels burn within the containment lines.
