At 12:15pm on Monday, 18 May, we received reports of a vehicle fire on New Oxford Road in Chieveley.

Two Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service crews from Newbury Fire Station were sent to the scene.

On arrival, crews discovered that there had been a small lorry fire that was extinguished by the driver. Crews used a thermal imaging camera to check for hotspots and used a hose reel to cool down the vehicle’s rear axle.

Crews were at the scene for approximately 20 minutes.
