"Risk of explosion
A police officer has said fire service have warned the fire could explode further and so people are being ushered away from the site.
A cordon has also been set up at the junction of Meadow Lane and Manvers Street
Cars no longer have access down Meadow Lane."
15 fire engines and 3 ladder platforms there now, crews from Derbys and Leics there backing up Notts. Sounds like it's a bad one.
That cannot be a normal fire.....there are a bunch of chemicals and plastics in that blaze
Gas cylinders have exploded as firefighters tackle a large fire at a city's former cattle market.
Explosions caused by compressed gas cylinders were heard after a fire broke out in four buildings at Nottingham Cattle Market at about 18:00 GMT.
Residents near the business estate, off Meadow Lane, close to Notts County football ground, have been asked to keep their windows and doors closed.
The fire service said some people may have heard "several small explosions".
There are no reports of casualties and Nottingham Fire and Rescue Service has urged people to avoid the area where possible.
The cause of the fire is not yet known.

It seems to be developing into a screenplay for a bad disaster movie:

Well you couldn't call the film "NOTTS ON FIRE" that's for sure...
I think it would be safe to say that Meadow Lane hasn't seen anything like this since the bombs dropped on the area 77 years ago.
