RESIDENTS in the central Victorian town of Heathcote have been warned to remain vigilant as a small grassfire burns nearby.
The Country Fire Authority (CFA) first received reports of the blaze about 3.40pm (AEDT) and brought the one-hectare fire under control in about 20 minutes.
The wind is expected to change later on Saturday, which may cause the fire to change direction and move towards the southwestern side of the town.
A CFA spokeswoman said the initial emergency message sent to residents had been downgraded and four fire crews were on the scene.
"The wind change is coming through and there is the potential for spotting but there are crews out there looking after it," she told AAP.
"Remain vigilant, particularly in weather like this, that's always the advice - keep your eye out, stay in touch with all your forms of communication, whether it be social media (or) local radio."
