A BUSHFIRE that was threatening a small community southwest of Sydney has been controlled, firefighters say.
But a severe thunderstorm has sparked a dozen bush and grass fires in NSW's far west, and another out of control blaze has begun near Brewarrina, in the state's northwest.
Hazard reduction burns that ran out of control sparked Sunday's first major fire, with bushland near the Bargo State Forest - 100km southwest of Sydney - going up in flames about 9am (AEDT).
Owners of about six properties on William Street, in Bargo, were warned they could be in danger if the fire spread any further.
But by 7pm (AEDT) the Rural Fire Service had the blaze under control, and residents did not need to evacuate.
Bulldozers were ordered to the scene to help reinforce containment lines and build a firebreak.
A Remote Area Firefighting Team also travelled from Macarthur, in Sydney's southwest, to tackle flames that sprang up in inaccessible terrain.
Firefighters in western NSW were also busy on Sunday, with a severe thunderstorm sparking bushfires around Wilcannia and northeast of Broken Hill.
All of the fires were in rural areas and did not pose a threat to homes.
Meanwhile, on Sunday evening, several residents living on Carinda Road, about 25km southeast of Brewarrina, were put on high alert because of a 150 hectare, out of control bushfire near their properties.
There were no immediate evacuations and firefighters were hoping to control the blaze before they got near the homes.
