In short:
Amid criticism of the Tasmania Fire Service (TFS) over no fire ban being imposed on a windy, warm and dry day which resulted in prescribed burns going ahead, one fire expert says the entire approach to managing fire simply must change.
Fire crews battled 60 fires on Sunday, with the TFS confirming many were connected to burn-offs by people unprepared for the conditions.
What's next?
With a potentially strongest-ever El Niño weather phenomenon set to intensify further into 2027, weather experts say parts of the east and north-east coast have been flagged as being of particular worry for the upcoming fire season.
