Grassfire near Young now under control

FIREFIGHTERS have controlled a grassfire burning near properties in southwestern NSW.

The fire, covering 4600 hectares, is burning at Geegullalong Road, about eight kilometres east of Murringo, near Young.

In a statement, police said the fire was under control and advised it was safe for locals to return to their homes.

They told motorists intending to travel between Boorowa and Cowra that the Lachlan Valley Way would remain closed overnight due to smoke and fallen trees.

Earlier on Sunday night, a NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) spokesman said 140 firefighters, 43 fire trucks and six aircraft were battling the blaze.

The RFS is establishing containment lines around the fire overnight.

A watch and act alert has been issued by the RFS for the affected area.
