The fire and rescue service says crews were called to a shed fire in Greeba this afternoon, Sunday, April 12.
Firefighters brought the blaze under control in an hour, using hosereels to stop in spreading to a nearby property.
It’s believed strong winds caused a garden waste fire to spread and ignite the shed.
The emergency service says it's a reminder to be careful with bonfires, especially in windy conditions, and never leave them unattended.
