Farm equipment destroyed in shed fire

Fire has damaged a shed and destroyed agricultural equipment inside it on a rural property near Waimate early today.

Crews were alerted to the blaze, in a double shed on O'Neills Rd, Makikihi, at 1.38am, a Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said.

A double shed was "heavily damaged" and equipment inside, including a grain harvester, was destroyed.  

Firefighters from Waimate tackled and extinguished the fire, which was only 10m from a house, the spokesman said. 

A Fenz safety officer was checking the scene this morning, he said.
