Patrick Simpson, who owns the building, said: “From what we can gather someone has gained access and broken in to the site and disposed of a large number of tyres which they have then set alight.
“Thankfully, no one is injured. The fire brigade were great, they were there within five minutes.”
A large amount of smoke could be seen from the Buncrana Road.
