But RFS operational officer Mitchell Butler advises it is a pre-approved stubble burn that is under control.
"There were quite a few Triple 000 calls because it was producing a lot of smoke and flames were visible from the highway," he said.
"The RFS has been out there but it is under control. The owners are burning within a ploughed line (in the paddock)."
