A bushfire that threatened rural properties in the Southern Highlands is now under control.
An emergency warning was issued for a fire at Alpine, between the Hume Highway and the Old Hume Highway, at about 5.30pm (AEDT).
The fire was brought under control after about two hours and downgraded to a watch and act warning.
Sweltering conditions and strong winds fanned several blazes across the state on Sunday, until a cool change arrived in the late afternoon.
