The incident at 6.40pm on Friday was caused by a forklift truck battery which was thought to have developed a fault.

The fire, on Coggin Mill Way, spread to a number of tyres within the car garage area at the premises.

Firefighters used breathing apparatus, hose reels and a ventilation fan to deal with the incident, and left at about 8.05pm.
