The fire has been contained with on site heavy equipment being used to reduce the amount of material on the fire.
Several ACT Fire & Rescue fire trucks including specialised compressed air foam tankers remain on scene.
At this stage it is expected the fire will continue to burn for several days with smoke still being produced and spread away from Pialligo depending on the weather conditions.
People in areas where the smoke is present who have breathing difficulties should remain indoors.
