"We do think the fire conditions will escalate into the evening and over the coming days. We know this fire is going to be difficult to control."

As part of the planning process, TFS and State Emergency Service crews may be visiting properties in the area to perform structural triage.

"If for some reason it [fire] does get out of the box, we need a plan B and C and D," Mr Mahnken.

"If you see us in the area and coming on to your property, do not be alarmed. It is just part of our planning process."

A community drop-in centre will open at the Lebrina Fire Station from midday on Monday.
