Firefighters have been called to an early morning barn fire in Christchurch for the second time this week.
The blaze broke out in a small barn on Sawyers Arm Rd in the suburb of Harewood about 2.30am.
Three pumps and a tanker have been at the scene with a number of crews.
It is unclear if the fire is related to a large hay barn fire near Brooklands, which broke out at a similar time on Monday morning.
Fire investigators have been treating that blaze as potentially suspicious.
