A spokesperson from the station said the first incident was reported at 3.25am followed by a second at 4.02 the same morning.
"Both were quick attendances, we put them out quickly without any issues," they said.
"They were in very close proximity too, one was along Red Hill Road near Lake Albert while the second was at Gidya Road."
The spokesperson said it was good to see the community getting on board to help.
"We had one family come out to assist us with buckets of water to put out the fire and protect their property," they said.
"However they did not see anyone light the fire or in the area."
Despite this region of the Riverina not being under a total fire ban, the high winds experienced yesterday and the dry, warm weather pose an extra risk of fires spreading, reminding the public to be fire safe.
