THE Tasmania Fire Service has upgraded a bushfire at Forcett southeast of Hobart to emergency warning level with a "high" danger rating.
It says a large, uncontrolled bushfire is burning between Forcett and the Tasman Peninsula.
The fire is one of two for which emergency warnings have been issued, with fire at Bicheno still out of control.
Authorities earlier issued watch and act warnings for fires at Nubeena and Lake Repulse.
The community of Taranna is affected by the latest upgrade and residents are being told it is too late to leave and they should go to a nearby safer place.
The fire has spread south of Murdunna, has spotted as far as Taranna and has active fire edges back to Forcett and Dodges Ferry.
Smoke, embers and ash could fall on the entire Tasman Peninsula.
The Arthur Highway from Old Forcett Road to Eaglehawk Neck, Fulham Road, Sugarloaf Road and Carlton River Road are all closed.
