Police have shut down a potentially explosive methylamphetamine laboratory on a remote property close to a bushfire that has burnt more than 37,000 hectares on the NSW South Coast.

Strike force detectives descended on a rural property at Harolds Cross, about 30 kilometres south-west of Braidwood on Saturday, arresting two men and allegedly uncovering a large drug manufacturing laboratory.

The volatile site was about 15 kilometres from the edge of the North Black Range, Palerang firefront, which is under control but still burning west of Braidwood.

Luke Drever, 37, and Kevin Reilly, 38, were arrested just after 8.30am at the remote property, where they had allegedly been staying in a shed while manufacturing a commercial quantity of the drug ice.
