A South Dunedin firewood shed found ablaze in the early hours of yesterday morning has sparked a callout of the fire investigator.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand southern shift manager Alex Norris said crew were alerted to reports of a shed on fire in Melbourne St about 12.10am yesterday.
Two appliances, from Dunedin Central and St Kilda, were sent to the scene.
"When we got there we found a well-involved shed fire approximately 5m by 7m," Mr Norris said.
Crew at the scene marked the fire as suspicious.
It was put out by 2.10am.
A fire investigator was at the scene yesterday morning.
A police spokeswoman said officers were alerted to the incident about 1.45am and their assistance had been requested by the fire investigator.
"We are working with the fire investigator to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident," she said.
