Van on fire
M40 between Junction 1A (M25 Interchange) and Junction 2 (Beaconsfield)
One appliance and crew from Gerrards Cross, one from Langley and one from Hillingdon attended, along with an officer.
The firefighters used:
- One set of breathing apparatus
- One hose reel
- Spreader
Smoke from the fire affected both carriageways of the motorway, so a temporary road closure was put in place while firefighters worked at the scene.
The incident was left in the hands of the Highways England.
