FIREFIGHTERS are battling a slow-moving grass fire burning close to homes in the city's west.
Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) on Wednesday afternoon said that crews were fighting the blaze at a reserve near Starleaf Way and Ebony Place, at Macquarie Fields.
A FRNSW spokesman said a grass area of 200 metres by 200 metres was alight, but no properties were being directly threatened.
He said the "slow-moving" fire was "burning slowly" behind some houses.
