Fire Crews are battling a "fully involved" car fire which has spread to the surrounding area.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand (Fenz) spokesman said crews were called to a report of car fire that was spreading to surrounding areas of grass at around 3.50pm.
An appliance was dispatched from Invercargill Station, and a tanker from Waimahaka Station.
Those units had trouble accessing the fire, so a four wheel drive unit and another appliance was sent from Invercargill Station.
Crews were currently battling a "fully involved" car fire at the end of Waituna Lagoon Rd.
The fire had spread to an area about 150 meters by 15 meters and a helicopter was on standby, he said.
