The blaze ripped through about 3500 hectares last month, destroying nearly a dozen homes and damaging many more.

Maddens Lawyers principal Brendan Pendergast, who has represented several bushfire cases across Australia, told the affected home owners a class suit would help recover uninsured items.

The evening meeting in the Stoney Creek Community Hall became hostile when one attendee questioned the timing of the meeting, suggesting the law firm was moving too fast to pitch their case.

But Mr Pendergast said the majority of the group appeared willing to go ahead with the litigation.

“There are people who obviously have some concerns and reservations but I thought across the meeting the tenor was positive and I think there's some enthusiasm for exploring it,” he said.

It was likely the class action would be moved against a member of the community, which Mr Pendergast said could be problematic.

Maddens Lawyers also held discussions with the affected home owners of the Curandooley fire near Tarago, reportedly caused when a bird struck a high power voltage line.

"Many of the bushfire class actions we've been involved in have been against major corporations, in particular energy companies, and that emotional, interpersonal concern doesn't exist in those circumstances,” Mr Pendergast said.

"Here, potentially, we have a member of the community who might be implicated and of course that throws up issues and concerns.”

Mr Pendergast said their initial inquiries pointed to the fire being started on a property using inappropriate tools on a fire ban day.

"We're hopeful we are able to make a recovery, but I indicated in the meeting, it's very early days,” he said.

For the litigation to move forward, a member of the group affected will need to represent the class suit.

"We will be seeking instructions from a lead plaintiff and we will be issuing a proceeding, but that's likely to happen in the next two or three weeks,” Mr Pendergast said.
