On Monday evening a blaze broke out at a mattress and foam warehouse building in Low’s Lane, Stanton-by-Dale, near Ilkeston.
The building has now been demolished after the blaze left it in a “dangerous state”.
Gary Platts, Derbyshire Fire and Rescue, said it had been “one of the most rapid fires” he had ever seen.
It took almost three hours to bring the blaze under control.
Mr Platts, fire station manager, said: “It burned very, very quickly. Within an hour it had destroyed the roof and burned the entire contents.
Police have been working to determine how the fire started.
The Environment Agency was also consulted after a similar fire last year contaminated water in a nearby canal, causing fish to die.
