Due to the large amount of smoke and strong winds we remind residents to stay clear of the area and close their windows and doors.
"Please stay out of the area and be aware of a large number of vehicles travelling to the incident. If you live nearby, keep your windows and doors closed."
A total of 12 engines from Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire are at the scene, along with a pair of aerial ladder platforms and a high volume pump.
It comes just days after a dramatic fire in Hull, which sent a huge plume of smoke into the sky and forced firefighters to tell residents to keep their windows and doors shut.
