The blaze had been put out by on-site sprinklers by the time firefighters arrived, who then used a thermal imaging camera to ensure the area was safe.
The day after the incident, a spokesperson from Bridgnorth Fire Station said: "We were alerted to an automatic fire alarm at a local business.
"A small fire had taken place in their standard process which was fully controlled and extinguished by the sprinkler system.
"Crews isolated the sprinklers to limit the water damage and checked the area with the thermal camera before handing the area back over to the onsite engineers."
