FIREFIGHTERS are currently fighting a large barn blaze in Smalley.
The fire, close to the Smalley crossroads, has forced the closure of the A608 for safety reasons.
Crews from Nottingham Road, in Derby, and Ilkeston were called to the fire at 7.50pm.
The barn was thought to contain hay and was being doused with water as it burned.
It is thought that fire crews could be at the scene for at least another three to four hours.
Police said it was too early to establish if there were any suspicious circumstances.
