Fire services responded to several calls alerting them to a garage fire in South Dunedin yesterday. A plume of black smoke rose over the nearby area.
Two appliances from St Kilda and Dunedin Central fire stations attended and put the fire out in Kirkcaldy St.
A firefighter at the scene said the single-car garage, on land next to the King’s High School hockey turf, contained a lot of wood.
When they arrived they discovered a well-involved garage fire, SSO Leonard said.
The fire was being fanned by high winds and the quick actions of crews stopped it from spreading to an adjacent sleepout and nearby house, he said.
Four firefighters using breathing apparatus and two high pressure hoses tackled the blaze.
The cause of the fire was not yet determined.
