"Some sparks had got into the insulation and caused a small fire that was extinguished before we got there," said Tim Mayme, deputy fire chief.
"It was just basically smoke removal at that point and resetting the system."
Damages were reported to be minor and people were allowed back into the building around 9 a.m.
There were no injuries reported.
