A LARGE bushfire is out of control in Tasmania and will impact the township of Richmond, fire authorities say.
An emergency warning has been issued for Middle Tea Tree Road in Richmond, northeast of Hobart.
"Fire under these conditions will be uncontrollable, unpredictable and fast moving," says an alert sent from the Tasmania Fire Service on Thursday afternoon.
"The fire is expected to put the area of (the) Richmond township and surrounds at direct extreme risk from the fire front."
Firefighters are anticipating embers to also create spot fires that may threaten homes.
Ten fire trucks have been sent to the blaze, which is expected to put the township of more than 800 people at extreme risk.
The fire danger rating in the region is extreme.
A total fire ban has been declared for the entire state on Friday as firefighters prepare for the worst bushfire danger in the area in more than five years.
