The alert had been issued yesterday (Tues) morning.
Seven homes were affected on Cecil Hill Road.
Crews are making good progress on the Cecil Hill fire.
Coastal Fire Centre Information Officer, Marg Drysdale says it was hard to tell the size of the fire because it’s a smoldering one but it’s been pegged at 9 hectares.

47 firefighters are working on the fire along with three helicopters.
