Smoke from this 100 hectare burn is visible from the village of Gilgai and the town of Inverell.
It is expected smoke from this hazard reduction will begin to dissipate this evening (Wednesday), as the burn is now complete and most internal burning has finished.
The burn is aimed at reducing fuel loads to protect life and property in the event of a fire.
The status of the fire is under control which was last updated on the Fires Near Me app earlier this morning.

By simply sharing your location, the app will show you any fires within the area. You can also shift around the state to check out any other fires, possibly nearby loved ones or friends.
