The incident is on the A29 Shripney Road, south of the Oldlands Way roundabout.
People are being asked to avoid the area while emergency crews deal with the fire and to allow firefighters to work safely.
Residents living nearby have also been advised to keep their windows and doors closed because of smoke coming from the incident.
