The Tasmania Fire Service said six crews from New Norfolk, Bridgewater and Lachlan were sent to extinguish the fire.

It remains unclear what caused the fire or the extent of damage.

Firefighters were called to a grassfire at the address just three days ago and a deliberately lit blaze in late January.

At the time, it was reported the building was currently unoccupied and being used as a storage space.
