Big fire in Derby?

[LongQ]

Large plume of smoke has developed in the last 20 minutes or so as I was taking shots of the sunset.

Anyone know what it is?

Whereabouts in Derby... the centre?

Difficult to tell. Could be close to the centre. Or maybe more Spondon way. I'm in C Donington so not easy to spot the landmarks.

Suspected arson at a Rolls Royce canteen and meeting room complex apparently.

Seems from reports on the Derby Evening Telegraph web site that there has been an arson attack somewhere in Derby every evening for the last few days.

For the locals, I believe they are going to publish another dramatic picture on page 2 of the Monday edition of the paper ...

Hmm,

Well it's definitiely pyro week in Derbyshire!

My page 2 shot has been relegated to a small image on page 4 on the Evening Telegraph edition I have. Damn, news is a fickle thing. Why some idiot had to allow a factory at the Heanor Gate Industrial Estate burn dramatically on Sunday I just don't know. Even worse there was a photographer with some decent kit nearby. He got a front page! I got relegated to page 4!

Damn!

If anyone knows where the next conflagration is going to be can they let me know ... ? Seems to be hot (no pun intended) news at the moment.
