POLICE are warning of a potential hazard on the Midland Highway after a log truck's brakes caught fire just before 6am today.
The trailer has been immobilised about 3km south of Epping Forest in the north-bound lanes.
The fire service is at the scene and police were on their way early today to direct traffic.
Motorists are advised to take extra care when driving in the area as there may be emergency service workers on the road.
Meanwhile, police have attended yet another suspected arson attack overnight.
The Tasmania Fire Service was called to a structure fire in Ballyhooly Road at Mangalore, north of Brighton, about 9pm yesterday and found a shed on the property fully alight.
Damage is estimated at $40,000.
Police and the TFS established a fire watch overnight after determining the blaze was likely to have been deliberately lit.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or investigators at the Bridgewater CIB office on 6268 4100.
The Bureau of Meteorology has warned frost on susceptible roads will make driving conditions dangerous this morning in parts of the North-West Coast, Central North, North East, Western, Central Plateau, Midlands, East Coast, Upper Derwent Valley and South East forecast districts.
