The blaze, which killed 600 sheep, destroyed $500,000 worth of crops and claimed numerous fences and a shearing shed, was deemed “contained” at 11pm on Thursday night.
It is believed the fire was sparked by machinery at a North Yalgogrin property.
The RFS has warned this weekend’s hot and blustery conditions meant further flare-ups were possible in the Riverina.
