But Lower Hunter Rural Fire Service public liaison officer Leanne Bell said the incident was a car fire that had since been extinguished.
Ms Bell said fires at Pelaw Main and Paterson were still within containment, while the Wollombi fires were at Emergency level and burning in an easterly direction.
