Four fire crews from Derbyshire and Staffordshire were dispatched to the scene in Bridle Lane in Stanton, near Swadlincote, at about 12:45 on Friday.
Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service says the smoke plume from the blaze has led to a high volume of calls and asks people to keep windows and doors closed in the area.
The service adds: "Please avoid the area while emergency services deal with the incident."
