Bushfire-weary NSW residents shouldn't expect any respite just yet, with dangerous fire weather expected to linger for at least another three days.
Scores of fires continued to burn around the state late on Thursday as the bushfire crisis entered its second week.
But none burned at emergency level overnight.
A Rural Fire Service spokesman has warned that warm weather and strong winds were expected to plague the state until early next week at the least.
He conceded some residents may become "frustrated" after days of being urged to leave their homes, then being allowed to return.
But he pleaded for locals in bushfire-affected areas to continue to heed official warnings because the danger remained real.
