Police are treating a fire which tore through four hectares of grassland as Jerrys Plains early Monday morning as suspicious.
Hunter Valley Police say a power pole was deliberately cut down with a chain saw in Edderton Road at about 3.00am on Monday, bringing down live power lines which started the fire.
8 RFS trucks attended the fire, taking around 30 minutes to bring the flames under control.
Police say no homes were under threat, however power was cut to one rural property.
