Three buildings on the farm caught fire, but firefighters were able to quickly extinguish two and contain the blaze to one 40m x 10m shed. The Otago Daily Times had been unable to confirm the name of the property, but the fire occurred between Roberts Rd and Burma Rd intersections on Mount Stuart Rd, Johnston. Pioneer Energy, owner a wind farm on the opposite side of the road, confirmed the fire had not affected its infrastructure.
