Fire crews are battling a large fire at a storage facility in Invercargill.
Fire and Emergency were called to Freight Haulage on Lake Street in the suburb of Clifton at about 4.30pm.
The fire was largely contained to one building but was not yet extinguished at 9.20pm.
About 40 firefighters and nine fire trucks were actively fighting the fire when it was its peak.
Fire and Emergency incident controller Julian Tohiariki said crews will remain at the scene overnight to ensure the fire remains contained.
Efforts to remove any remaining fire fuels inside the building will be made in the morning, he said.
