Police and fire investigators are looking into a suspicious bushfire near Invercargill.
Three fire trucks and three water tankers were called to a vegetation fire on Tiwai Point at 10.45pm on Sunday.
No one was evacuated and the fire has now been contained, a fire and emergency spokesperson said.
Investigators will visit the scene on Monday, alongside police.
It is believed the fire may have been started deliberately.
