Tasmanian firefighters are preparing for a horror day as temperatures exceeding 30 degrees, combine with dry winds to create severe bushfire conditions.
33 fires are burning across the state this morning, with 12 at emergency levels, cutting off power to hundreds of homes and engulfing the Hobart CBD in smoke.
Andrew McGuinness of the Tasmanian Fire Service, warns that with the conditions predicted, it’s unlikely any of the blazes will be controllable.
