Three arrested for lighting fires
Three people have been arrested for lighting fires during the state's total fire ban.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested on Saturday afternoon after he allegedly started a grass fire in Orange that prompted the evacuation of an animal shelter.
A 40-year-old man was arrested at the scene of a bushfire at Mangrove Creek on the central coast just after midnight on Sunday.
And a 32-year-old man was arrested at Nabiac on the mid-North coast on Sunday afternoon after two fires were deliberately lit.

http://www.smh.com.au/environment/weather/firefighters-to-assess-property-loss-as-nsw-bushfire-threat-downgraded-20170212-gub8um.html
A small town in central western NSW has been "all but wiped out" in a bushfire that ravaged the area, a resident claims, as firefighters continue to battle more that 80 blazes burning across the state.
The immediate threat to property from bushfires was downgraded early on Monday morning following cooler and calmer conditions overnight, but firefighters have warned the danger period is not yet over.
At least one farmer, Warren Jarvis, reported that his house was "totally gone" when a fire raced over the hill near his property near Cassilis and went "mad".
"My house and all my property is totally gone. Three greyhounds, other cats, all my chooks, probably my sheep and cattle," he said.
Dozens of properties are believed to have been damaged or destroyed, but the NSW Rural Fire Service said it could not provide a precise figure until Building Impact Assessment Teams inspected fire-ravaged areas on Monday to determine the extent of the loss.
A resident of the small town of Uarbry, east of Dunedoo, told the ABC that the town had been "all but wiped out" in a bushfire on Sunday. That bushfire, which the RFS has called the Sir Ivan Fire, had burned about 41,650 hectares by Monday morning and was not yet contained.
Uarbry consists of only about 12 buildings, most of which were no longer standing, residents claimed.
