A fire investigator has been called to look into a suspicious blaze in a firewood shed in South Dunedin early today.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand Southern shift manager Alex Norris said crews were alerted to reports of a shed on fire in Melbourne St about 12.09am.
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 five metres by seven metres," Mr Norris said.
He said crews marked the fire as suspicious and the blaze was put out by 2.10am.
A fire investigator was on the way to the scene this morning.
