A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said they were alerted to smoke from a building in Joy St about 2.55pm.
Crews from Oamaru, Weston and Glenavy were working from four fire trucks and a tanker to extinguish the fire in one of the lower floors of the 10m x 10m building.
Crews from Duntroon and Waimate were called but then stood down.
