A tree which fell on power lines on White Street sparked a small fire near the street’s bridge on Sunday morning.

A FRV spokesperson said firefighters responded to a spreading grass fire in Wangaratta about 8:10am.

Crews arrived on scene and worked quickly to contain the blaze within 10 minutes.

Wangaratta police responded to the incident and deemed the fire non-suspicious, having been caused by a tree knocking down a power line and igniting the fire.
