Big fire in Derby?

[LongQ]

Large plume of smoke has developed in the last 20 minutes or so as I was taking shots of the sunset.

Anyone know what it is?

Difficult to tell. Could be close to the centre. Or maybe more Spondon way. I'm in C Donington so not easy to spot the landmarks.

It's Billy Davies, he's torched the place and they are starting again.

I've just heard it on the radio that the smoke is coming from a green Bentley that's on fire.........

Suspected arson at a Rolls Royce canteen and meeting room complex apparently.

Seems from reports on the Derby Evening Telegraph web site that there has been an arson attack somewhere in Derby every evening for the last few days.

If it was the canteen on Victory road I can only assume it was a disgruntled customer, sometimes the food is not that great there

Probably the wires from the battery to the boom box.

This was 40 firefighters and Derby's biggest employer and the local news decided that some 'speed kills' muppets and someones cat up a tree was more newsworthy.

For the locals, I believe they are going to publish another dramatic picture on page 2 of the Monday edition of the paper ...

Hmm,

Well it's definitiely pyro week in Derbyshire!

My page 2 shot has been relegated to a small image on page 4 on the Evening Telegraph edition I have. Damn, news is a fickle thing. Why some idiot had to allow a factory at the Heanor Gate Industrial Estate burn dramatically on Sunday I just don't know. Even worse there was a photographer with some decent kit nearby. He got a front page! I got relegated to page 4!

Damn!

If anyone knows where the next conflagration is going to be can they let me know ... ? Seems to be hot (no pun intended) news at the moment.
