A shed fire at Scottsdale has caused about $120,000 damage.

Tasmania Fire Service was called to a property on Dornaufs Road at North Scottsdale about 5.20 Monday after reports of a fire.

Firefighters arrived at the property and found a large farm shed “well alight”.

The fire was contained to within the shed building, but a number of items inside were destroyed, including tools and farming equipment.

Fire investigators and Tasmania Police were called to the home to determine what started the fire.

Investigators said sparks from a welder being used in the shed may have been the cause.
