Emergency services were called to assist with a chimney fire at Careys Bay Historic Hotel in Dunedin this afternoon.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said a crew from Port Chalmers station attended the incident about 3.10pm.
They requested assistance from the aerial ladder based at Dunedin City station, due to the height of the chimney’s flue.
A thermal camera was also brought to the scene to check for heat sources, the spokesman said.
A staff member at the hotel said the fire was unfortunate but it had "livened up the day".
Staff were grateful for the assistance from Fire and Emergency, she said.
