The first burn took place in an area located east of Grenfell along Major West Road Bumbaldry and the second near Saleyards Road Parkes.
The NSW Rural Fire Service Mid Lachlan Valley Team said the burns will help to reduce the risk to properties within the surrounding areas.
The team has issued a thank you to a number of brigades across the Mid Lachlan Valley including Brundah, Forbes Central, Greenethorpe, Parkes Headquarters and Weddin Headquarters who gave up some of their weekend to assist in completing these hazard reduction burns
Landholders across the Mid Lachlan Valley are reminded they are still required to notify their neighbours and the Forbes Fire Control Centre when conducting controlled burns.
