Four fire appliances were sent at 6.39pm yesterday, followed by two tankers, following reports of a fire in Tiwai Rd.
Crews had come from Tiwai, Kingswell and Invercargill to extinguish the blaze, which had burnt about 2000sq m of vegetation by 8pm.
The fire did not threaten any buildings and was contained shortly before 9pm.
A Fire and Emergency spokesman said the remaining crew, from Hedgehope, left the scene about 9am today.
"Everyone has come away so they were obviously happy with everything."
