Firefighters extinguished a slow-burning grass fire on a 30m-long front in Hospital St, Clyde, near power lines, early today.
Clyde Volunteer Fire Brigade firefighters and members of the Dunstan Rural Fire Party fought the blaze using a fire appliance and a water tanker, respectively, after being alerted about 1am, a Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said.
Firefighting was completed by 2.50am, he said.
The fire was not suspicious, and did not damage the power lines.
