The site of the fire
A battery-powered forklift is believed to be to blame for a fire at a factory in Ashby.
According to the Leicester Mercury, fire crews from across the East Midlands attended the incident at a commercial unit on Discovery Way, Ashby and extinguished the blaze in just over an hour.
Fire fighters used a main jet and hose reel to extinguish the fire, before fully ventilating the building to avoid smoke damage.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and the overall damage is yet to be confirmed by the fire service.
The newspaper quotes an incident report from Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service which indicates a battery-powered forklift was involved in the fire.
The exact location of the fire has not been confirmed, but there are three factory buildings on the road, with the most notable being the McVitie's factory.
