Residents of fire-ravaged Dolphin Sands face another day away from their properties as authorities keep roads closed amid dangerous wind forecasts.
A severe weather warning is in place for the east coast, with gusts of up to 100km/h possible.
Incident Controller Michael Goldsmith said the fire is contained but conditions remain hazardous.
“We understand the frustration of residents and community members wanting to access Dolphin Sands Road, but safety has to come first,” he said.
“There are still hazardous trees, damaged infrastructure and debris that could cause serious harm, particularly with damaging winds forecast.”
A review of the road closure is occurring this morning, Goldsmith said.
“I want to reassure community members that access in and out of the area will be facilitated as soon as it is safe to do so,” he said.
The bushfire tore through the coastal community late last week.
Rapid impact assessments have confirmed 33 houses were damaged, with 19 destroyed.
A further 122 assets including sheds, caravans, water tanks and power infrastructure sustained damage across the area.
Dolphin Sands Road east of number 191 remains closed, while the stretch from the Tasman Highway to that point is open to residents only.
Those who can access their properties are urged to proceed with caution, authorities said.
Emergency crews have been door-knocking to check on residents’ welfare and ensure people have adequate food and medical supplies.
An evacuation centre at Swansea Town Hall remains open for displaced residents.
A recovery centre has also opened at The Old Courthouse on Noyes Street in Swansea, where affected residents can attend in person to access support services.
About 30 firefighters from Tasmania Fire Service and Parks and Wildlife Services continue extinguishing hotspots.
The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
