The fire service asked people to avoid the area and to keep windows and doors closed.
A spokesperson said the cause of the fire was unknown.
No-one was thought to have been injured, they added.
Twelve fire engines were initially sent to the scene along with a command unit, welfare unit and drone.
The number of appliances was reduced to four after the fire was brought under control, the fire service said.
