Overview

• The Tasmania Fire Service says the earlier emergency warnings for Nugent are no longer in place, with a watch and act now covering areas east of Masons and Nugent roads and west of Kellevie Road.
• Residents are told there is no immediate danger but to monitor updates, review bushfire plans and remain ready in case conditions change.
• Smoke, ash and embers may continue to affect visibility and air quality, and the TFS warns spot fires remain possible.
• Incident leaders report severe winds hampered direct firefighting, so crews focused on protecting properties, though the risk has eased and conditions are expected to improve.
• Earlier on Monday, the fire prompted leave‑now advice via Kellevie Road, and local brigades reported responding to several weekend fires including at Forcett and Bream Creek before returning to Nugent.
