SEVERE bushfire conditions are predicted to continue in Tasmania, where a man has been accused of starting a 10,000 hectare blaze.
A total fire ban has been declared for Tuesday, with strong northerly winds predicted across the state.
Police said a 31-year-old New Norfolk man would be charged under the Fire Services Act, after leaving his unextinguished campfire unattended last week.
The campfire turned into a massive inferno, which has consumed more than 10,600 hectares and had not been contained on Monday evening.
Over 100 properties have been destroyed since last week, concentrated in the fishing village of Dunalley.
No deaths from the fires have been reported, but emergency services crews are conducting property-to-property searches for human remains.
Police say many people are still unaccounted for.
The focus of the state's efforts turned to the northwest corner on Monday, where a watch and act alert was in place for the residents of Mawbanna.
Similar warnings have been issued for the Lake Repulse and Tasman Peninsula fires.
