NSW firefighters worked through the night to battle blazes and build containment lines, with high temperatures and fire danger predicted for the start of the week.
Temperatures in the mid to high 30s and another tough day for firefighters are predicted for Monday.
"The fire danger is going to be very high," an RFS spokesman told AAP.
No "significant" rain is expected for the start of the week and there are no total fire bans in place.
"The winds fortunately aren't going to be overly strong so hopefully that will give us a little bit of time to get some more work done on those containment lines," the spokesman said.
Water-bombing aircraft, heavy machines and firefighters worked throughout Sunday night on control lines at the Minjary fire, burning between Canberra and Wagga Wagga, the Redbank fire, near Bathurst, and the Minimbah fire, near Wagga Wagga.
Three homes were destroyed by the Minimbah fire.
Emergency warnings were in place for out-of-control grassfires at Singleton and the Hells Hole fire near Bathurst.
The Singleton fire was at 7pm (AEDT) downgraded to a watch and act alert.
More than 900 firefighters were deployed in NSW on Sunday, fighting 92 fires, 28 of which were uncontained.
