DOZENS of homes are under threat from a bushfire burning out of control in bushland near Hobart.
Tasmania Fire Service senior station officer Danny Reid has said the fire started about 12.40pm (AEST) at the top of a disused quarry in Mount Nelson, just 2km south of the city centre.
Mr Reid has said hot, dry winds were pushing the fire rapidly downhill through bushland at Proctors Road and a University of Tasmania reserve.
He has said houses backing onto the bushland are under threat and residents have been advised to stay or return home to put out any sparks or embers.
"There's four or five streets that back onto the reserve. It's got the potential to threaten about 1000 homes," he said.
Eighteen fire service crews and one helicopter are fighting the fire. |
ok, so my home is one of those threatened, though i think we'll be ok.
but, if not, what should i do?
