Essential accommodation for mine workers on Tasmania's west coast has been destroyed in a bushfire that raged through the small community of Rosebery — with authorities set to review warnings which were sent out during the emergency.
Shane Batt from the Tasmania Fire Service said a review would be conducted, as with any fire of this nature.
"We are not going to make second guesses to issue emergency warnings and then create more panic within the community unless they are absolutely warranted.A historical replica worker's hut was also damaged.Tasmania's Premier Jeremy Rockliff described it as an "intense blaze" which came "perilously close" to the Rosebery Medical Centre.Two staff members and one patient were evacuated from the centre, which sits next to the Mount Black Lodge.
"We'll have a look at the vegetation to see where the fire started from and then we will see where it spread to."Tasmania's west was forecast to experience above-normal fire potential this summer, following continued dry conditions.
