THE main fire activity today has been in the south-west
to southern area around Ringwood Trail to East-West Trail through to
Collins Bonnet in very steep and inaccessible terrain. The fire in this
area is causing a considerable amount of smoke and may be causing
embers, smoke and ash to be falling in many areas around greater Hobart.
There is active fire around Collins Cap Rd with the junction of
Suhrs Rd. This is not causing immediate threat to residents but
residents need to remain vigilant.
Forestry Tasmania and Parks and Wildlife Service crews are working on
the northern end of the fire around the bottom of Glen Dhu Rd and
the Transend transmission lines near Malbina.
Crews with the assistance of machinery are working on the fire edge
around the Ironstone Gully, Ringwood Rd and Ringwood Trail area. Crews
are also undertaking property protection at the bottom of Ringwood
Trail.
The Tasmania Fire Service says non-residents should stay away from the affected areas. Stay up-to-date by monitoring ABC Local Radio the TFS website www.fire.tas.gov.au for further instructions.
