Fire crews from across the Shoalhaven and Eurobodalla have fought the fire, along with Rural Fire Service NSW newest aircraft: the RFS Chinook helicopter.
Overnight, crews conducted a tactical backburn, which has proven effective in containment efforts.
However RFS NSW spokesperson Victoria Quested said the service is "conscious of conditions today, as the dry and windy weather may present challenges".
