The Parks and Wildlife Service is expected to undertake a fuel reduction burn on Wednesday.
The burn could take up to two days and will spread across about 98 hectares.
Sharing an alert on Tuesday afternoon, Tasmania Fire Service said residents and visitors should be aware public access tracks in and around Honeycomb Caves would be closed during and after the burn “until it is deemed safe to re-open”.
“The public is asked to remain well out of the burn site while the burn is taking place and for the following days until safety checks have been made along tracks and trails,” TFS said.
“Please comply with directions from staff or any signs if you are in the area.”
A fuel reduction burn is also expected to be conducted at Youngtown Regional Park on Wednesday.
