A scrub fire started last Friday near Goolgumbla Esplanade, but was quelled by the Jerilderie Fire + Rescue NSW brigade.
The brigade was called to the Jerilderie Lake adjacent esplanade about 6am.
They responded with a single truck and crew, and were able to have the fire extinguished and ‘under control’ by 9.20am.
Originally reported as a fire at one of the Goolgumbla Esplanade properties, the fire was between the lake and the creek to its west.
No-one was in the vicinity when the fire started, and so firefighters believe it may have been burning for some time before they were alerted to it.
