Crews tackle packaging firm fire

Part of a Derbyshire town was cordoned off by police after fire broke out at a packaging firm.

Crews tackled the blaze in a large charcoal tank at AmCor Flexibles at Ilkeston on Monday evening.

The 15m-by-10m charcoal unit was destroyed in the fire at Crompton Road but no-one was injured.

About 25 firefighters were called to the blaze, which burned for several hours. An investigation into the cause gets underway on Tuesday.
