The NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) reports that the bushfire has burned through 337 hectares (about 833 acres), but that the footprint of the fire has not changed significantly since around midnight.
Firefighters worked through Friday night to battle the blaze and many will remain at the scene tonight.
NSW RFS incident controller Chris Allen said there had been a report of one shed lost in the fire but no reports of any further property losses or injuries.
The current alert level is set to advice. The fire began shortly before 2pm on Friday.
Local crews have been assisted by crews from the ACT and far south coast, and water bombing aircraft.
The blaze, off Nerriga Road north of Braidwood, is expected to burn for a number of days as inaccessible terrain hampers efforts.
A total fire ban is place for a number of regions including the Queanbeyan-Palerang council area and Goulburn Mulwaree.
For residents in the area of the Braidwood fire, updates are being provided to the Bungendore IGA and the Tourist Information Centre at Braidwood.
