The PSNI advised people to avoid Balloo Way due to the fire, as images on social media showed large plumes of smoke.
They said: “Emergency services are currently at the scene and residents are advised to keep windows closed due to smoke.”
North Down MP Alex Easton said he “hopes and prays” no one has been hurt in the “significant” fire.
“I want to pay tribute to the firefighters and all emergency personnel responding in difficult circumstances,” he said.
He added: “My thoughts are with everyone involved, including those working to bring this incident under control.”
