A feisty kettle was the probable culprit in a fire callout to a Dunedin petrol station.

Firefighters were called out to Mornington this morning after reports of smoke.

The incident turned out to be steam at the BP service station shop, a Fire and Emergency NZ spokesman said.

There were reports it came from a kettle.

Firefighting crews from central Dunedin, Roslyn and Lookout Point were sent to the scene in Mailer St about 11.30am.

The station resumed operations within an hour.
