Four vehicles are on scene in Goroke and will look to have the fire under control, while aircraft have been deployed to investigate reports of a fire near Patyah.
"It's pretty much all starting to happen, there's a bit of rain but there's a lot of lightning strikes at the moment which means there are a lot of reports coming out," a CFA spokesperson said.
"At the moment we're just watching (the reports), getting there and seeing. It's very early stages."
