FIREFIGHTERS in central western NSW will continue to battle a large 40,000 hectare bushfire on Tuesday that has destroyed at least 33 homes.
The fire in the Warrumbungle National Park has led to evacuations from the nearby town of Coonabarabran, and has also claimed 50 farm sheds.
It is burning in a northerly direction in the Bugaldie area, the RFS said on Tuesday.
Acting Premier Andrew Stoner said on Monday a wind change had removed the threat to Coonabarabran, but the fire could still threaten settlements to the north of the national park.
Additional RFS crews are being deployed to the area ahead of deteriorating weather conditions later in the week.
The RFS said another fire was burning northeast of Coonabarabran along the Newell Highway but was not threatening properties.
The bushfires were among 146 blazes burning across the state, which were being tackled by almost 800 firefighters, 208 trucks and 78 aircraft.
So far the state's bushfires have scorched more than 500,000 hectares of bush, scrub and grass - as much land as the greater Sydney basin, RFS spokeswoman Laura Ryan told AAP.
