Fire crews relieved by cool change The New South Wales Rural Fire Service (RFS) says a cool change in the weather has helped firefighters battling about 80 fires burning across New South Wales.

An emergency warning has now been lifted for a fire burning between Lake Windemere and the western edges of Kandos and Rylstone in the state's central west.

The RFS says it is still working to contain that fire but the threat to the two towns has eased.

Temperatures will be in the low 20's rather than 40-43.
