A Telford factory has been forced to shut down part of its operation after a fire broke out in its filtration system.

The fire, which happened at around 7am this morning, started in a chimney at KN Wheels in Ketley.

It is thought that sparks ignited a series of filters, forcing firefighters to wear breathing apparatus during the clean-up operation.
