In a separate video statement, Incident Commander Bryn Coleman said from the scene: "At approximately 3 o'clock this morning, we were mobilised to a significant fire to a derelict mill.
"We’ve had 20 fire appliances from across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire in attendance plus a high volume pump from south Yorkshire and two aerial ladder platforms.
"The fire has been contained and surrounded but there is still an impact on the wider community, particularly the Hermitage Lane area.
"Fortunately, the Robin Hood railway line, which runs adjacent to this line, has still remained open.
"We are working with Nottinghamshire Police to try and get the remaining businesses in the area open."
