Harold Riley said he had been burning country since he was seven years old and now had more than 70 years experience.
"I've been frustrated about the fact we've been trying to get national parks to change their burning policies and it's been a long time doing it," Mr Riley said.
The Parks and Wildlife Service reduction burn for the Olivers Road, Mt Claude and Cethana area became an escaped burn after a change in wind conditions.
A Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment spokeswoman said a review would be undertaken to learn from the burn escape.
Mr Riley has accused PWS of burning at the wrong time.
"The decision was made to burn, when it was made on the calendar, made on a special day to do, which they often do," he alleged.
"See the country tells you when it can burn.
"If I'd had the call, I would've said we don't do it."
IN OTHER NEWS:
A DPIPWE spokeswoman said all burn plans were reviewed and only approved after careful consideration of a wide range of factors - including the litter loads and vegetation types, topography, firebreaks and tracks, natural and community values and assets, and many other burn factors.
She said PWS continues to develop its knowledge on cultural and traditional burning practices and is committed to an ongoing liaison with the Aboriginal community.
"The recruitment of two Aboriginal fire rangers late last year, and an Aboriginal Burning Project Officer, are welcome additions to PWS and will assist with additional cultural burning, further liaison and the development of a cultural burning policy.
"Ongoing Aboriginal community liaison is important as best practice cultural burning methods vary between regions and individuals.
"These discussions will inform and guide how the Tasmanian Government can assist the Aboriginal community to re-establish cultural burning across the state.
"PWS will also administer a $100,000 cultural burning grant program."
International Women's Day 2021:
The Tasmanian Government created two specialist Aboriginal fire rangers and an Aboriginal burning project officer positions to join PWS in September last year.
Mr Riley said those young rangers won't have had experience with cultural burning.
"I'd like to see somebody take these young people and Parks to take them on site to do cultural burning."
He said cultural burning needed to adapt to with the current fuel load.
"There's a lot of areas that can be used just for cultural burning, but it's got to be done now in association with other methods."
Fire suppression work continue at Olivers road.
A DPIPWE spokeswoman said it had progessed well and the fire is currently contained on Monday afternoon.
"Fire crews remain onsite consolidating the fire suppression work."
