THE Tasmanian township of Zeehan, on the island's west coast, is being threatened by a large bushfire.
The Tasmanian Fire Service (TFS) has sent 13 firefighting trucks to try to contain the 1600-hectare bushfire that is raging near the town's airstrip.
The TFS says Zeehan, with a population of about 1000, is at direct high risk from the fire front.
There might be embers, smoke and ash falling on homes in the town, it said.
The TFS has advised residents to activate their bushfire plan and says it is too late to leave the area.
"If your home is well constructed, prepared and actively defended, it may provide shelter," a TFS spokesman said.
"If you dont have a plan or your plan is to leave - leave now, but only if the path is clear.
"This may include a neighbouring property or other cleared area close by that is not at risk from fire."
