NSW fire crews are hopeful rain has helped ease bushfire conditions but warn there's still plenty of work to do at firegrounds across the state.

Crews used more favourable conditions on Sunday to contain the Morton fire which has burnt more than 23,000 hectares in the Southern Highlands and the 333,900-ha Dunns Road blaze in the Snowy Mountains.

It follows a difficult day on Saturday where multiple blazes flared up sparking fears of property loss.Strong winds and high temperatures on Saturday night pushed the massive 177,000-hectare Border fire north towards Bega Valley while three separate blazes burning southwest of the region merged into one.

Five emergency warnings across NSW as conditions deteriorate under extreme temperaturesThe Rural Fire Service issues emergency warnings for five fires in the Snowy Monaro region and Bega Valley as several communities are told it is too late to leave.

Best wishes to all in the path of these fires and to all those threatened by fire ❤
