A massive fire, more than 6000 hectares in size, has burned atop the Greater Western Tiers since last Tuesday.

The fire backs on to the Cradle Mountain area and has posed some threat to homes near Mole Creek, Chudleigh, Western Creek and Meander.

Firefighters from Tasmania and reinforcements from interstate have managed so far to fend off the flames, but most of work had to be done by helicopter, due to the fire's remote location near Devils Gullet.

Last week, a group of five rural women made a name for themselves when they declared their intentions to help deliver aid to those in need across the North.

The team did a similar deed during the 2013 Dunalley bushfires.

Fire Angel Chenae Simpson said the fivesome finished most of their days at 4.30am last week.

Following their self-assigned shifts, the group would rest for six hours and then go back out into the fire zone to deliver more supplies.

Mrs Simpson said she expected this week to be just as gruelling, but said the work had to be done.

"This week we'll be going out with Deloraine wildlife rescuers because they're expecting it to be quite bad out there," she said.

"We're getting briefed (on Monday) and then we'll be doing a black walk."

Mrs Simpson said Sunday into Monday was the most "peaceful" 24 hours the group has had since the North's devastating bushfires flared almost two weeks ago.

The team of five has thanked the community for their support, after some people purchased water, lip balm and other items for the women to hand out.

The Evandale Pub has also been turned into a donation centre.
