“NPWS is working closely with RFS to mop-up any smouldering material internally on the fire ground,” a NPWS spokesperson said.

Crews will now patrol the fire ground until they are “confident the fire is out”.

The spokesperson said the fire has been downgraded, and its emergency S44 status revoked.

“Specialist NPWS remote area fire crews are using helicopters to reach and extinguish individual smouldering logs on the inaccessible parts of the fire line,” the spokesperson said.

“With drought conditions everyone is reminded to be especially vigilant about fire and this is not expected to change until there is substantial rainfall.”
