Power has been restored for nearly hundreds of people in Tolland after a downed wire caused a fire, which then spread to a nearby building.
Tolland Town Manager Brian Foley said firefighters responded to the area of town hall on the Tolland Green.
Authorities believe a tree and wires created an electrical issue, and then a fire.
Crews said the downed wire sparked a brush fire, which then extended to a building on the corner of Tolland Green and Old Post Road.

Foley said the fire did not extend to the old town hall or art center, but there was some smoke inside.
"A close call for this beautiful old building. Nice job firefighters," Foley said in a Facebook post.
The fire has since been knocked down and no injuries were reported.
