There’s plenty more bush out there to burn,” an RFS spokesman said.

“Winds are likely to average 40km/h from the north to north-west with gusts up to 70km/h.”

Temperatures are forecast to reach up to 35 degrees in parts of the state’s north on Thursday, including near Casino where two bushfires burnt out of control last week. Two people died, 64 homes were destroyed and more than 122,000 hectares were scorched in the fires.
