"It's a big fire. We have about 100 firefighters on the scene," fire operations chief Martin Smith told AFP, adding that all people had been evacuated from the building in Bagsvaerd, north of Copenhagen.

The fire started in a container in a construction area and spread to the roof of an adjacent office building, also owned by the company, Smith added.

Thick plumes of grey smoke could be seen 30 kilometres (19 miles) from the blaze, Danish news agency Ritzau reported.

The fire comes less than a week after another on May 16 at a different Novo Nordisk construction site in Kalundborg, which did not impact production of medicines.
