A Fire and Emergency NZ spokeswoman said a crew from the Willowbank station attended the blaze in Castle St at 1am.
‘‘It was a couch on fire in the middle of the road in the student area - how ‘unusual’ for Dunedin.
‘‘Willowbank found one couch on fire which they extinguished.’’
A reporter at the scene later said the remains of the burnt-out couch could still be smelt as its remains lay in a carpark in the street.
