Local Carley Burdon operates the Woods Point Commercial Hotel, and said a town meeting was underway at the pub to keep residents updated.
She said the situation was changing rapidly.
“The fire is not behaving very nicely,” Ms Burdon said.
“We’ve lost power at the moment.”
Ms Burdon said she hoped to keep the pub open to help feed firefighters and volunteers.
