Two fire crews were dispatched from Telford Central to the charity's head office. An operations officer was also in attendance. 

Reports from the fire service said crews arrived to a "small fire" inside a server room. Firefighters extinguished the blaze and used a thermal imaging camera to check for any hotspots.

A fire service spokesperson said the fire involved one server and was removed from the property. Advice was given for an electrical engineer to attend. 

Firefighters were finished at the scene by 11.21am.
