Tasmanian Premier Lara Giddings has sent her condolences to the family of a Victorian man who died while fighting bushfires on the island state.
The Gippsland-based firefighter, aged in his 60s, died on Sunday while conducting backburning operations at Taranna, east of Hobart.
Police say there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
The man was one of more than 70 Victorian emergency services workers sent to Tasmania to help fight the state's devastating fires, which have destroyed more than 130 homes since January 4.
Ms Giddings issued a statement late on Sunday sending the state's thoughts to the man's family.
"On behalf of all Tasmanians, I express my deepest condolences to this brave Victorian's loved ones," she said.
"I hope that his family can gain some comfort from the sincere gratitude we feel for his willingness to assist us during this bushfire crisis.
"I thank them, and our thoughts are with them at this most tragic of times."
Tasmanian Emergency Services Minister David O'Byrne said victims and the man's colleagues would grieve at the loss.
"This tragedy will come as an immense blow to those many people who have done so much to not just protect lives and property, but work so hard to make someone else's life just that little better in the aftermath of such destruction," he said.
Police are investigating the death and will prepare a report for the coroner.
