The firefighter was injured as crews responded to an incident in Waitahuna, between Lawrence and Milton, yesterday in which a person was injured in a fall.
It is understood another volunteer firefighter reversed a vehicle into them.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand deputy national commander Brendan Nally said they were focused on supporting the injured firefighter, their family and the firefighter’s brigade colleagues.
The firefighter was in a stable condition at Dunedin Hospital with minor injuries.
"The incident has been referred to WorkSafe and we will be carrying out our own investigation into the incident.
"Until our investigation takes place, we are unable to provide any further details of the circumstances of the incident."
A WorkSafe spokesperson confirmed it had been advised of "a firefighter being struck by a vehicle" at Waitahuna yesterday.
Initial enquiries into the circumstances were ongoing.
A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said they were notified of a "fall incident" in Waitahuna Gully Rd at 9.13am on Monday.
One helicopter and an operations manager attended, and one patient was airlifted to Dunedin Hospital.
They were later notified of a motor vehicle incident, also in Waitahuna, at 10.09am.
A helicopter and operations manager again responded and one patient, in a moderate condition, was airlifted to Dunedin Hospital, the spokesperson said.
