The fire broke out at an industrial unit on Brooks Road shortly before 7pm.

On arrival, fire crews found a barn containing tyres and machinery alight with fire spreading to a nearby shed.

Firefighters then removed a number of gas cylinders from an adjacent shed as a precaution.

Teams have continued damping the scene down overnight, and one fire appliance currently remains on site.

Due to large amounts of smoke, nearby residents were asked to close any doors and windows.

Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue say an investigation to find the cause of the fire will now take place.
