The blaze was in a two-storey powder coating factory and one of the machines caught fire and caused the blaze.

The fire was brought under control "reasonably quickly" and crews will be on the scene making sure no hot spots flare up, the spokesperson said.

There was initial concern for a missing person but they were quickly located upstairs.

The person was checked over by the ambulance staff as a precaution but suffered no injuries or health-related issues from the fire, the spokesperson said.
