ONE fire crew from Birchwood was called out on Saturday afternoon to tackle a car on fire on the M62 at the Croft Interchange.
Shortly before 12.45pm, firefighters from Birchwood were called to reports of a car on fire on the M62 eastbound between junctions 10 and 11.
On arrival, they found a Ford C-Max well alight and, wearing breathing apparatus, used a hose reel jet to put the fire out. A thermal imaging camera was used to ensure the fire was fully extinguished.
Lanes 1 – 3 were temporarily closed during the incident and the crew were at the scene for 30 minutes.
Later in the day at around 15.30 a crew was called out to a bin fire on Loushers Lane, Latchford.
Firefighters used a water back pack to put out a fire and were at the scene for 20 minutes.
Delta Watch welcomed our new Apprentice, FF Alyx James, who joined the Watch this week. No messing around for Alyx straight into action extinguishing a car fire on the M62 yesterday you can just make her out wearing breathing apparatus. #CheshireFire🚒🚒 pic.twitter.com/sDrgjXk6T6
