The RFS is on the scene of a fire southeast of Goulburn.
Southern Tablelands zone operations officer Lachlan Gilchrist said the outbreak has so far burnt out about seven hectares. It is being controlled by four brigades, including Parkesbourne, Goulburn Mulwaree Support, Gundary and Currawang.
A motorist reported the fire just after 12.30pm at 4230 Braidwood Road, near the cross with Painters Lane.
Mr Gilchrist said had moved quickly through open grassland, fanned by approximate 56km/h winds, but there was no threat to property.
"It's symptomatic of the drought conditions that it has moved so fast but the quick response has made all the difference," he said.
"I'd urge everyone to remain vigilant and alert about the conditions and fire behaviour at this time."
A cause is not known at this stage.
