RESIDENTS of a township in southern NSW are returning to their homes after seeking shelter, but emergency services are urging them to remain vigilant.

The Hume Highway reopened in both directions in Tarcutta, east of Wagga Wagga, just after 6pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, after being closed earlier due to a bushfire.

All diversions have been lifted but motorists are still being advised to exercise caution through the area.

The NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) said the immediate threat to Tarcutta village has eased as weather conditions improve.

However, the blaze, which has burnt through 500 hectares, is still impacting isolated properties to the northwest of Talcutta along Mates Gully Road.

Residents in this area have been told to seek shelter as it is too late to leave the area.
