A MASSIVE fire has broken out after "loud explosions" were heard at an estate as emergency services warn people to stay away.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said that over 100 firefighters were attending the "significant metal fire" on Harrimans Lane, Nottingham.

In a tweet at 11pm, they said: "Crews and our multi-agency partners will continue working throughout the night to tackle the significant incident on Harrimans Lane.

"Due to the large amount of smoke and strong winds we remind residents to stay clear of the area and close their windows and doors.
