FIREFIGHTERS were called to tackle a fire at Crown Paints in Hollins Road, Darwen, earlier this evening.
A spokesman for the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service said a belt on the one of the paint giant's machines had over-heated and started smoking at around 6.45pm.
Any flames had been extinguished by the time crews arrived, he added.
