Firefighters have put out a blaze at the Imperial Tobacco factory in Dunkirk.

Firefighters - including crews from Stockhill and Highfields - were work at the scene in Thane Road for several hours on Saturday

The blaze was in an undercroft of the building and no-one was reported hurt.

In April, the Post reported that  Nottingham's Imperial Tobacco factory would be closing with the loss of 540 jobs.

The site on Lenton Industrial Estate, became the prime target for "company restructuring" because it has been producing only half the cigarettes it is capable of making.

Imperial Tobacco also blamed declining sales, increased regulation and growth in the illegal cigarette trade for its plans to shut the factory by 2016. 

Transport operator NCTX said no bus services had been affected by the fire.
