A Dunedin five-year-old got into some before-school mischief when they set their own fence on fire this morning.
A Fire and Emergency spokeswoman said they received a call about a fence on fire at a property in Jellicoe Cres at 7.48am today.
A unit from Roslyn Fire Station, located around the corner from the fire, attended and "chucked a bucket of water" over the small fence fire.
A spokeswoman from the neighbouring Pathways Montessori Preschool said teachers at work early helped out, and advised the fire starter was "not one of their ones".
The five-year-old who started the fire lived at a neighbouring property, the spokeswoman said.
