A Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesman said this morning: “We received a call on Tuesday, March 14, at 11.15pm, to a business in Market Street in Mansfield town centre.

“On arrival, crews encountered a significant fire across four floors and the basement and have been firefighting throughout the night.
