The Red Hill Telegraph Point bushfire is about 50 hectares in size and has been contained by fire crews from the NSW Rural Fire Service and Fire and Rescue NSW.

Crews will continue to patrol the fire throughout Thursday, said an RFS spokesperson.

A 20-hectare hazard reduction burn some seven kilometres south of Wauchope is also under control with Forest Corporation of NSW crews monitoring that site.

RFS district officer Stuart Robb says the Mid-North Coast is continuing to experience dryer than normal conditions.

"There is no significant rain forecast for the coming weeks," Mr Robb said.

"Landholders wanting to undertake hazard reductions burning on their properties should firstly ensure that they are allowed to burn in their area and if there are any permit restrictions. 

"They should notify the local fire control centre and their neighbours 24 hours before they intend to burn.

"On the day they should ensure that the weather conditions like the fire danger rating, wind and temperature are suitable and in particular what the weather conditions will be for the duration of the burn. 

"At this time of year on the Mid-North Coast winds typically pick up in the afternoon making fire harder to manage."

Mr Robb said landholders should also ensure they have adequate equipment to manage and extinguish the fire if needed and ensure that they supervise the fire for the duration. 

"Should they be experiencing difficulties call Triple 000 immediately," he added.

"A small fire is easier to contain than one that has had time to grow."

The RFS is also urging residents and landholders to start preparing for the upcoming bushfire season.

By taking 20 minutes with your family to discuss what you will do during a fire, could save their lives as well as your home, Mr Robb said.
