Firefighters arrived at 10.42am, and the situation was under control by 10.52am.
It was noted that when firefighters arrived, the fire was already under control and had been extinguished, as only thick smoke remained within the affected area.
The fire involved a pile of charcoal and did not affect any structural components, as the building is constructed of steel.
