Fire crews were called to a fire in a block of trees outside Mataura this afternoon.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokeswoman said it was called about 3.30pm to a tree block on fire on Crawford Rd.
A fire crew from Gore and a tanker from Hedgehope were sent to the blaze, in a section of land about 10metres by 150metres.
The fire was contained and crews were working to extinguish it fully, she said.
