Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 05 Januari 2013 | 12.21

THE Tasmanian Fire Service has issued a bushfire emergency warning for a large bushfire burning at the Tasman Highway near the east coast town of Bicheno.

The fire is expected to put the area of Coles Bay Road south of Apsley River as well as Tasman Highway south of Tower Hill at high risk on Saturday afternoon.

Friendly Beaches Road, Courland Bay Road, Tower Hill Fire Trail, Harveys Farm Road, Coles Bay Road are all closed to inward traffic. The Tasman Highway is closed from the Coles Bay turnoff to Bicheno.

Residents are being told to activate their bushfire plans as it is likely to be too late to leave.

Meanwhile, another bushfire is causing concern at Montumana and communities at Speedwell Road, Gilmore Property, Coopers Road are being advised to activate their bushfire plans.

Four major fires are burning out of control and threatening communities along the east coast and central Tasmania, with thousands of people stranded as roads are cut off.

Up to 77 fire crews are fighting the blazes.

Up to 1000 people were reported to have been rescued from beaches by boats overnight but police could not confirm the number.
