Crews from Richmond and Reeth were called to the incident at 7.47am this morning, with additional support from two fire engines from County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service, along with a water bowser.
Firefighters have been using two hose reel jets and two main 45mm jets to bring the blaze under control.
