Fires continue to rage throughout the state, with bushfire-ravaged communities in southern NSW assessing damage after seven lives and at least 382 homes were lost.

Mr Robb said the conditions are making the fire effort very difficult for firefighters, with Saturday predicted to bring extreme weather to the south coast of the state.

Three RFS strike teams from the Mid North Coast have been sent to help fight the fires west of Sydney.

Mr Robb said each strike team operates on a five day rotation. The team is made up with five trucks, a group officer and about 21 personnel.

Firefighters from the region's Fire and Rescue NSW brigades have also been sent to Bega.

Fire and Rescue NSW North Region Inspector Mark McKay said 16 people travelled to the location on Tuesday, December 31 with four tankers.

Firefighters have come from a number of different locations including Kempsey, Wingham, Port Macquarie, Sawtell, Wauchope, Laurieton, Dorrigo, Nambucca Heads and Macksville.

The original Fire and Rescue NSW strike team will be relieved by another 16 member team.

Their job is to supplement the firefighting effort and support the local crews on the ground.

There are about 14 fires still burning through the Mid North Coast region, at various levels.

RFS patrols are continuing to work on the containment lines of several fires.

However, Mr Robb said it just takes a change in the weather for fires to break through the lines and unfortunately threaten communities.

He said the land is extremely dry and there is no significant rainfall on the horizon to assist with the firefighting effort.

Local firefighters have been involved in battling blazes on the Mid North Coast since the Lindfield Park fire broke out in July, 2019.

A lightning strike during a thunderstorm in October, 2019 then set off a chain of events that saw the Hastings coastline between Crestwood and Lake Cathie erupt in flames.

Meanwhile a fire at Juhles Mountain Road is under control and remains at advice level after it burned across 58 hectares in the Coopernook State Forest this week.

Mr Robb thanked firefighters for their tireless efforts under extremely challenging conditions.

He said volunteers continue to give up their time to support communities.

Mr Robb said the Mid North Coast region is not put under risk with local firefighters helping other areas.

Firefighting resources are managed based on the weather conditions and where efforts should be prioritised.
