Vehicle fire

Past

One crew from Amersham attended a road traffic collision involving a vehicle that had left the road and come to rest in a hedgerow before catching fire.

Firefighters used two breathing apparatus, two hose reel jets, a thermal imaging camera, gas monitoring equipment and a ground monitor to extinguish the fire and cool the vehicle’s battery.

Firefighters worked alongside Thames Valley Police and South Central Ambulance Service, with a full road closure put in place while operations were carried out.

The vehicle suffered extensive fire damage. Crews remained in attendance to monitor battery temperatures and ensure there was no risk of re-ignition before leaving the scene.
