Large amounts of black smoke became visible in Invermay about 5.15pm.
A stack of wooden crates and other items had been piled up at the end of the street and was ablaze as onlookers watched on. Several men appeared to be stoking the fire.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Fire crews arrived about 10 minutes later and quickly extinguished the fire.
A witness told The Examiner the items belonged to a homeless man who had set up at the rear of a business in the street. He was yet to arrive back at his belongings before the fire was extinguished.
The witness said the fire was deliberately lit, and was part of a neighbourhood feud.
Nobody was injured in the fire.
