Crew Manager for Preston, Chris Wales said: "The smoke plume was visible from quite a distance away and as the property backs onto train tracks, Network Rail were informed of potential issues.
"When we arrived the shed was well alight, the fire had spread to the property - it melted plastic windows and broke windows.
