UPDATE, 2pm: Residents have been warned a bushfire near Boho and Violet Town could burn for several weeks.

About 150 people attended a community meeting in Violet Town this morning to learn more about the fire, which has burned more than 2000ha.

A Country Fire Authority spokesman said a Watch and Act Warning remained in place, but the fire did not pose an immediate threat to property or life.

The terrain is making fighting the fire difficult and fire crews are struggling to gain access.

UPDATE, 12.15pm: Firefighters are continuing to fight a fire in the Violet Town area this afternoon.

The slow moving bushfire is about 1600ha in size and is travelling in a north-easterly direction in the Violet Town-Harry's Creek Rd area.

It is out-of-control and creating spot-fires less than 1km ahead.

The fire is most active on Upper Boho Rd and Sawpit Gully Rd.

There is still smoke over the Hume Fwy between Violet Town and Boho Church Rd. Vehicles travelling through this area on the Hume are asked to proceed with caution and slow down.
