Firefighters have worked overnight bring the fire at Potters Hill under control.
ACT Emergency Services commissioner Dominic Lane credited fire crews on the ground for restricting the burn to less than 200 hectares in severe weather conditions.
The Bushfire Alert and Warning Level for this fire has been set at ADVICE, but its Fire Danger Rating is VERY HIGH, which means it can be difficult to control and flames may burn into the tree tops. Embers may be blown ahead of the fire and spot fires may occur up to two kilometres ahead of the fire.
