But a reduced number of crews will remain at the Brinklow site until the end of the day as a precaution.
The fire started in the outer trailer at 7.30am and destroyed four other trailers as well as a warehouse wall.
The building’s sprinkler system was activated immediately and this, combined with the quick action of eight fire crews, stopped further damage to the building.

The power supply to the affected building measuring 300 by 100 meters has been interrupted.
A spokesman for Bucks Fire and Rescue Service said: “Firefighters worked hard to ensure the fire was brought under control quickly and did not spread to other units in the area.”
He added: “A reduced number of firefighting appliances and crews are expected to remain at the scene during the day.
The smoke could be seen for miles
The explosions were heard by residents of surrounding areas and are understood to be fuel tanks that exploded.
Smoke and flames could be seen for miles around and the fire department received numerous calls.
Firefighters used four sets of breathing apparatus, three main nozzles, three nozzles with hose reels and an aerial ladder monitor, a thermal imaging camera and a fire and rescue service drone.
No one was injured in the incident and the cause is still unclear.
