Multi-Agency Response To Industrial Park Blaze In Sutton Bonington

Posted on 15 April 2026

UPDATE - 17:44 - WEDNESDAY 15 APRIL 2026

The incident in Sutton Bonington has now been scaled down to four fire engines, thanks to our crews who have done a brilliant job tackling this blaze.
Residents who were displaced earlier today are reminded they are now able to go back to their homes and travel disruption should be starting to ease off.
Thank you to colleagues from Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service and Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service for supporting us at the scene and, importantly, thank you to our partner agencies right across Nottinghamshire who have worked with us to manage this incident and bring it close to a conclusion.

UPDATE - 15:06 - WEDNESDAY 15 APRIL 2026

Firefighters are still on scene at this incident, but our attendance is now being scaled down from the 13 appliances that we have had in attendance for the last two hours. 

Following the initial call at 10.47am, there was a significant smoke plume that forced closure of nearby railway lines due to visibility issues and the threat from exploding cylinders. 

However, the fire is now surrounded and the rail lines have now been fully re-opened. 

People living locally are still advised to keep windows and doors closed, and not to be alarmed by any loud bangs heard in the area. 

There have been multiple agencies involved in this incident all working together, as one, to keep people safe and bring this to a swift conclusion. 

Thank you specifically to colleagues from Leicestershire and Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Services who have come across the border to help us tackle this blaze. 

UPDATE - 13:50 - WEDNESDAY 15 APRIL 2026

Firefighters from Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire & Leicestershire Fire & Rescue Services are currently in attendance at a large, on-going fire on the Hathernware Industrial Estate, Sutton Bonington.

The call to this incident came in at 10.47am and at the time of this update, there are around 13 fire appliances on scene tackling this blaze. 

The fire involves wooden pallets, lorry trailers, industrial units, cylinders and tyres and is putting out a significant smoke plume which has forced agencies to close part of the nearby rail line. 

Members of the public are being asked to stay away from the incident if possible. Those living nearby are being urged to close doors and windows and be wary that local transport networks are likely to be impacted. 

Anyone living nearby is also told not to be alarmed by any loud bangs coming from the incident ground - these are due to the cylinders which are on fire. 

Fire crews are being supported at the incident by Nottinghamshire Police, East Midlands Ambulance Service and Network Rail. 

More updates will follow in due course. We expect to be on the scene of this fire for quite some time.
