More than 93,000 hectares of West Coast wilderness has been lost to several bushfires currently burning in the area.
Operations Officer Brodie Frost said weather conditions changed overnight, allowing authorities to downgrade multiple warnings.
“We were able to catch a break yesterday due to easing weather conditions,” he said.
“We continue to lead by our operational priorities which are community safety, key infrastructure and areas of high natural value. We are targeting what we can achieve today.”

State Fire Commander Matt Lowe said aircraft are continuing to undertake aerial assessments where possible.
“However low cloud cover is affecting our ability to gather this intelligence in some areas,” he said.

The firefighting effort has drawn more than 100 personnel from Tasmania, New Zealand, Queensland and New South Wales.
The fires of most concern are in Yellowband Plains, Pieman River, Mount Donaldson and Canning Peak, Lowe said.
Community meetings are scheduled for Sunday afternoon in Zeehan and Arthur River, while an evacuation centre remains open at the Queenstown Sports Stadium.
Lowe directed residents to check TasALERT for updates on the meetings and current fire conditions.
