An alarm was sounding inside a commercial property and a strong smell of burning was noted.
To get into the property, crew members had to use 'breaking in equipment', thermal imaging cameras and a high-pressure hose jet.
The crews searched the building and houses along the road were checked, before a bonfire was discovered further away.
The smoke had travelled due to the high winds.

Most vehicles diverted as requested.
There were no reports of injuries and incident was closed at 10pm.
