Pictures showed the building badly burned out as firefighters worked in windy conditions on Monday. Officers from Lancashire Constabulary were also in attendance and were thought to be assisting with managing the scene.
A spokesperson for Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service said: "At 3.38pm, two fire engines from Ormskirk and Skelmersdale attended an outbuilding fire on White Moss Road, Skelmersdale.
"The incident involved an outbuilding approximately 20x30m in size. Firefighters used four breathing apparatus, two hose reels, one jet, small tools, and a thermal imaging camera to extinguish the fire. They currently remain in attendance."
The fire came just hours after another blaze which happened nearby at White Moss Lane. On that occasion, crews were called when a caravan was ablaze. That cause of that fire is under investigation.
The LFRS spokesperson said: "At 10.21am on 10 July, three fire engines from Ormskirk and Skelmersdale attended a caravan fire on White Moss Road, Skelmersdale.
