We received several 999 calls reporting a car on fire on a public highway. One fire engine was sent and on arrival the crew confirmed this car was well alight.
The fire was extinguished using:

The fire was within the engine compartment which was 50 per cent destroyed by fire. The rest of the vehicle was damaged by smoke. The cause of the fire was accidental.
