BBC News OnlineNottinghamshire Fire Service has released a statement saying it continues to tackle the fire in Worksop.
Quote MessageThe fire involves a large amount of rubber, hence the thick black smoke that people can see for several miles around. Fortunately the fire is outside of the factory, which makes it easier for us to access, and our crews are working hard to contain it and stop it from spreading. We are working closely with our colleagues from Derbyshire and South Yorkshire fire and rescue services, Nottinghamshire Police, the Environment Agency and Public Health England, not only to fight the fire, but to keep people informed and safe.

It's at a company called MBA Polymers UK which recycles plastics and also metals and started just after lunch.
While we've been here the smoke levels have reduced quite a lot but we've heard the smoke is visible from as far away as Chesterfield and Mansfield.
Obviously they are going to have to wait until the fire is totally out and make sure the building is safe before investigators can see what's happened.

BBC Radio DerbyEnforcement officers are being brought in from Nottingham to help Derby get on top of the problem of flytipping in the city.
Derby City Council decided to implement these measures after just two fines were issued for the offence last year, despite there being 5,000 reported incidents of flytipping.
Councillor Asaf Afzal, the cabinet member for neighbourhoods, said: "We've tried to engage with communities, we've tried to get the evidence, but now it has got to the point where we need proper enforcement.
"Although it is not just about enforcement, it is also about saying we don't want litter here...flytipping it is not acceptable."
