THE bushfire threat at Musselroe Bay in Tasmania's north-east has eased but 12 fire units are still tackling the uncontrolled blaze.
The threat to property in the area has been downgraded from "high" to "watch and act".
About 40 residents were evacuated last night.
At 10am, the Tasmania Fire Service warned that the fire could still affect the township.
The TFS said the bushfire was not controlled and embers, smoke and ash could fall in Musselroe Bay and surrounding areas.
Musselroe Bay Rd could be closed later today due to increased fire activity and backburning operations are under way.
People who left their homes last night have been advised to not return until the fire threat eases further.
"As the fire approaches it may become unsafe to be either on foot or in a vehicle as the smoke and heat from the fire will create very dangerous conditions on the roads," the TFS warned.
