"We were called this morning just after 8am to a fire in a warehouse that was used as a spray booth.
"Initially, six fire engines attended but due to the high fire loading and the chemicals that were involved in the fire we increased our attendance to 10 fire engines, two aerial appliances, a hazardous support unit.
"We're attacking the fire from three sectors and it is largely under control, however there is still smoke being released which is reducing.
"We are advising residents to keep their windows and doors closed."
