Ed Sheeran‘s “castle on the hill” faced some potential danger this morning.

A fire at the 27-year-old singer’s English estate broke out on Friday, just after 7:30 a.m., according to the East Anglian Daily Times.

Local firefighters from Framlingham, Saxmundham, and Halesworth responded to the “small building fire,” a spokesperson for Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service told the newspaper.

After extinguishing the fire with a hose reel jet and clearing the area from “heavy smoke” with a positive pressure ventilation system (PPV), the incident was officially resolved just before 9 a.m.

There were no reported injuries and ambulance services were not required to show up to the property, according to the spokesperson.

Representatives for Sheeran did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

The news of the fire comes one day after Sheeran celebrated a personal music milestone and announced the launch of his very own collection of guitars, Sheeran by Lowden.

On Thursday, the Grammy-winning singer’s hit song “Shape Of You” earned an RIAA Diamond certification after the song reached sales and streams greater than 10 million.

Sheeran shared the exciting achievement on social media. “My song Shape Of You is now diamond in the US!” he captioned a video on Instagram. “Thanks to everyone who’s downloaded or streamed it.”

Sheeran’s latest feat scored him a spot in history as the fourth artist to receive multiple Diamond certified songs since the status was first implemented 20 years ago. His song “Thinking Out Loud” a single off of his 2014 album x, previously went Diamond in 2017.

“Shape Of You,” the lead single off of the singer’s 4x-platinum-certified third studio album ÷, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 and held the spot for 12 weeks before remaining in the Top 10 for 33 consecutive weeks thereafter — the most in the chart’s 60-year history.

The song also made Sheeran the first artist ever to have two singles debut in the Top 10 at the same time when “Shape of You” was released in tandem with the 3x-platinum-certified single “Castle On The Hill.”

Next month, Sheeran will resume his worldwide stadium tour in São Paulo, Brazil in support of ÷, which set the world record in 2018 for highest-grossing tour ever in a calendar year with $432 million in ticket sales, according to Pollstar.
