NSW fires to 'go gangbusters' on Friday

FIREFIGHTERS say bushfires burning across the state could "go gangbusters" on Friday as more scorching weather bears down on NSW.

A statewide total fire ban is in place for Friday as authorities brace for temperatures to reach the low- to mid-40s in some parts of the state.

NSW Rural Fire Service said the hot forecast meant there would be no reprieve from the around 100 fires burning across NSW late Thursday night, of which 16 remained uncontained.

An RFS spokeswoman told AAP strong winds forecast for Friday would exacerbate the fire threat.

"The fires, given they're already burning, they may well and truly go gangbusters."

Three fires had caused major concern on Thursday night, the RFS advised.

Around 150 firefighters worked to contain the Deans Gap fire about 12km east of Sussex Inlet, in the Shoalhaven.

In the state's southwest, the Cobbler Road fire in the Jugiong area, near Yass, was burning close to properties, with about 90 firefighters at the scene.

The Yarrabin fire burning in the Kybeyan Valley 20km east of Cooma had burnt 9,400 hectares by Thursday night, the spokeswoman said.

"Firefighters are concerned that the hot weather Friday and Saturday is going to have a negative impact on that fire."
