The fire started at the Rumenco feed company, Derby Road, which is a leading national and international supplier of high quality feed solutions. A witness from Hornlow, who also took some pictures, said the smoke appeared to be coming from nearby Stafford Street. He said: “My mother-in-law came to our house at 8am this morning and said ‘Did you see the smoke?’ It was black and you could really smell it. “The smoke was just coming out.” Derby Road is a major route to Burton from the A38 and is always busy during rush hour. Staffordshire Police told drivers to avoid the area as Derby Road is closed to traffic from the A38 to the intersection with Hawkins Lane. A spokesman confirmed that no one was injured.
