Emergency services are responding to an incident at a Rolls-Royce factory in Derby.

Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service said it was called to the site in Raynesway shortly after 16:00 GMT on Thursday.

Firefighters have advised people in the Alvaston area of Derby to keep their windows and doors closed while emergency services deal with the incident.

A number of roads have been closed around the factory, including Royal Scot Way, Pride Park Way, from Derby Audi to the London Road roundabout, Harrow Street, and London Road, from the junction of Harrow Steet to Meadow Lane.

The Raynesway Rolls-Royce site designs, manufactures, and supports nuclear reactors and nuclear steam-raising plants (NSRP) that power every submarine in the UK Royal Navy.

It is the subject of plans to create more factory space to meet the growth in demand from the Royal Navy and as a result of the recent AUKUS announcement.

In March 2023, it was confirmed that Rolls-Royce Submarines would provide all the nuclear reactor plants that will power new attack submarines as part of the tri-lateral agreement between Australia, the UK and US.

This increase in demand will see new manufacturing and office facilities being built on recently acquired land surrounding the existing Raynesway site.

It will also create 1,170 skilled roles within Rolls-Royce across a range of disciplines, including manufacturing and engineering.
