Van on fire
M40 Southbound, between Junction 6 (Lewknor) and Junction 5 (Stokenchurch)
One appliance and crew from Thame, one from High Wycombe and one from Wheatley attended, along with an officer.
A van was on fire on the hard shoulder of the motorway.
The firefighters used:
- Two sets of breathing apparatus
- Two hose reel jets
- Absorbent pads
The southbound motorway was closed while they worked at the scene. Diesel leaking from the van had spread across the road surface.
