Two cars were set alight just metres from a Dunedin fire station overnight.

A fire communication spokesman said fire services were alerted to two car fires at the Willowbank Quarter apartments, which are right next to Willowbank Fire Station, shortly after midnight.

This developed and and a third car was also extinguished.

The spokesman said the fires were believed to be deliberately lit.

Firefighters from both the  Dunedin Central and Willowbank stations responded.
