A fire in Nelson South was visible through parts on Nelson and Stoke on Friday as emergency services brought the blaze under control.
Fire and Emergency shift supervisor Alex Norris says they began receiving calls about visible smoke at around 11.30am on Friday morning.
Two fire appliances were sent to investigate while many more calls continued coming in.
On arrival, crews found a garage on fire at a Tukuka St property, that sits on the edge of the Grampians.
Flames could be seen billowing from the roof of the building as firefighters arrived.
Fire and Emergency NZ, police and Hato Hone St John were all on site, with the building being doused with water by firefighters.
Another crew from Nelson was immediately sent along with a crew from both Stoke and Richmond, although Richmond were stood down as the fire became controlled.
Alex says an ambulance was sent as a precaution but there were no reports of injury or anyone inside the building at the time.
