Flames and smoke could be seen coming from the Paton Rd fire.
Fire crews have been called to several large fires in the Nelson suburb of Richmond this afternoon.
A Fire and Emergency spokesperson said crews were called to multiple sheds on fire on Paton Rd in Hope, just south of Nelson.
“The blaze was well-involved when crews arrived just after 6pm,” they said.
“Fire crews were at the scene – but have since reduced to three.
“The fire is now under control and fire crews are working to dampen down hotspots.”
Videos of the fires showed flames and large plumes of smoke spewing from the area.
