Firefighters were called to a large blaze north of Christchurch that spread from a hedge to a shed.
Fire and Emergency NZ crews from the Swannanoa, Kaiapoi, Woodend, Pines Beach, and Rangiora stations were called to the blaze near Ohoka, Waimakariri, at 9.38am on Friday.
Five water tankers were called to the scene, and the shed was "well ablaze".
The hedge fire was contained this morning, but crews were still fighting the shed fire on Friday afternoon.
It comes after a large vegetation fire in Darfield destroyed three structures on Tuesday.
A helicopter and a 20-tonne digger were employed to help bring the Darfield fire under control.
