Several homes were evacuated as firefighters battled fires at an industrial building in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.

The fire started around 3:45 p.m. Saturday.

A local recreation center has been opened for residents who have been asked to leave their homes.

Phillip Arnold, 79, told Nottinghamshire Live: “I’ve never seen anything like this and I’ve been here 50 years.

“My house is just a few doors down from it.

“They came and knocked on my door and said we had to evacuate.

“I’ve been out here for about three hours.”

Those remaining in their homes have been asked to close their doors and windows.

Parts of Forest Road, Sandhurst Avenue, Bessemer Road and Nottingham Road were also without power as firefighters had to isolate power while fighting the fire.

No reports of injuries.

Chief Inspector Amy Styles-Jones, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This incident is likely to continue for some time, so please avoid the area if possible.”
