Risky weather has prompted "very high" fire danger ratings in Tasmania, with authorities no longer issuing burn permits and revoking others.
The ratings were expected for Friday and Saturday for parts of the north and south, Tasmania Fire Service said.
"The risk to the community of issuing permits to allow landowners to conduct burns on their property is too great under the expected conditions which include thunderstorms and strong, dry winds," Regional Chief Jeremy Smith said.
People have been urged not to burn piles of vegetation of a cubic metre or less which usually doesnt' require a permit, he said.
"In these conditions only one strong gust of wind or nearby lightning strike could pose a risk."
