鈥淭he 1 x 150m residential house is well ablaze, plus the fire is spreading into the property next door,鈥 said shift manager Ryan Dawson.
However, the fire was not threatening the house on the neighbouring property, he said.
Fire and Emergency initially sent two volunteer trucks from Kaiapoi but have since sent two additional fire trucks to help battle the blaze.
