Residents have been evacuated from homes as emergency services tackle a "significant" industrial blaze.
About 20 appliances were at the scene after the fire service was called to Park Street, Kidderminster, Worcestershire, at about 14:50 BST.
Police asked people to avoid the area while road closures were put in place.
People were being advised to keep doors and windows closed, with a plume of smoke visible across the town.
One woman, who lives on Wood Street near to the fire, told BBC Hereford and Worcester she and a number of other people had been evacuated from their homes.
She said police escorted them to Bewdley Road, near to an old register office.
