A bushfire that was threatening around 30 properties on Gungully Road at Upper Lansdowne, north-west of Taree, has been brought under control.
The fire broke out yesterday afternoon and tore through 200 hectares of bushland.
More than 60 firefighters, assisted by water-bombing aircraft, worked through the night to control the blaze.
Fire crews have established containment lines around the fire and have been carrying out backburning.
While no properties are under threat, the Rural Fire Service is urging residents to remain vigilant because of the dry conditions in the area.
