100 firefighters and 20 support personnel have been working alongside five helicopters and heavy machinery today to extinguish flare-ups.
Incident Commander Steve Kennedy says the dampening down and the creation and widening of fire breaks have proven themselves against the stronger winds.
Kennedy says they're expecting a southerly wind change this evening which will assist crews with cooling the land.
It'll also help their infrared cameras to identify anymore hot spots
