House fire in Cobram's east

Victoria Police evacuated residents from nearby homes as firefighters fought to bring the blaze under control.

NSW RFS crews supported CFA brigades from Cobram, Yarroweyah and others to contain the fire by late afternoon.

Despite reports of an explosion near the source of the fire, police said nobody was reported injured.

Witnesses reported hearing a loud, ‘forceful’ bang around 2.15pm in the front yard of the home.

A power line is believed to have fallen into the front yard of the home, according to the eyewitnesses.

Police are treating the incident as non-suspicious at this stage.
