Sparks from some welding set off a fire that extensively damaged a shed on a property in Collins Street in Te Hapara on Thursday afternoon.
Fire and Emergency NZ sent two appliances to the property at around 2pm that afternoon after neighbours saw smoke coming from the shed and called
111.
The 8m x 4m shed was well involved in fire when the crews arrived.
“We believe it was caused by sparks from some welding the property owner had been doing just outside the shed,” a senior firefighter said.
“He had gone away for a short time, and while he was away the sparks got inside the shed to set fire to some flammable materials.”
