Massive Fire at Hathernware Industrial Estate

0:00A massive fire broke out at the Hathorneware industrial state in Sutton, Bonington, right on the Nottinghamshire Lestershire border. It kicked off Wednesday morning, April 15th, ripping through buildings, trailers, timber stacks, pallets, and gas cylinders that started, exploding with loud bangs. Fire crews from Nottinghamshire, Lestershire, and Derbyshire rushed in, putting eight engines on the scene by 11.30 a.m. They're battling the blaze that's sending a thick black smoke across the area, locals got the word to steer clear, keep windows indoors shut, and not freak out over the explosions. Those are just the cylinders going off. A nearby farm, hungry, lane organics, posted about the smoke fog rolling into their yard, but said no one's hurt, and firefighters haven't handled. The Parrish Council confirmed, emergency services are on site, urging everyone to stay safe amid the heavy smoke. Train services on the East Midlands railway line from London St. Pancras to Nottingham are facing delays too.
