Your CFA was called to the end of Foley Rd last night.
A buildup of salt, from the easterly winds, was causing components on an electrical pole to short out, throwing sparks.
CFA stood guard, in case the whole thing blew up... which it fortunately didn't, till power company took over the scene.

VicEmergency Warning.
Yanakie & surrounds has an increased fire risk (than normal years,) this coming season.
Hard to believe with the current wet/cold weather.
Higher Risk because of a warmer Jan/Feb 2026.
Recent rain = increased green growth, then long-term dryness = fire fuel buildup.
Pic shows areas with this season's increased risk.
