A Dunedin resident woke yesterday to the sound of a smoke alarm going off and her kitchen full of smoke.
Jissa Joseph said she woke in her Heriot Row apartment to find the stove on fire and a room full of smoke.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand (Fenz) spokeswoman said appliances from Dunedin, Willowbank and Roslyn responded to a call about 9am.
Upon arrival, crews requested extra resources from St Kilda and Lookout Point.
"Everybody had evacuated before we arrived, so there were no concerns about occupants."
The fire was extinguished by 10am and a fire investigator was not called.
