Residents of Chasm Creek and the surrounding district should not concerned if they see or smell bushfire smoke tomorrow.
Weather permitting, the Tasmania Fire Service will be conducting a fuel reduction burn in the areas as part of its state-wide Fuel Reduction Programme, which is aimed at reducing the bushfire risk to help protect lives and communities.
The fire service says the total area of this burn will be around 4.8 hectares, and is likely to take 1-2 days to complete.
Smoke may persist some days afterward depending on wind conditions.
During burning operations public access to the area will be restricted.
The public is being asked to remain well out of the burn site while the burn is taking place and for the following days until safety checks have been made along tracks and trails.
The TFS says while the fire intensity will be low, it will generate flames, smoke and ash.
People with medical conditions which can be affected by smoke are advised to enact their personal plan for avoiding smoke from the burn.
