Burnham-On-Sea
fire crews tackle M5 car blaze
 Two
fire crews from Burnham-On-Sea rushed to a vehicle blaze on the
hard shoulder of the M5 motorway near the town on Monday evening
(February 25th).
On
arrival, the crews confirmed that the car was well alight.
Two
Burnham firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used two hose
reel jets to bring the blaze under control at around 6.10pm.
"The
fire is believed to have been caused by a blown engine part causing
oil to go onto the manifold," said a fire spokesman.
"The
engine compartment was 90 per cent destroyed by fire and heat
and the passenger compartment received 85 per cent damage by heat
smoke and fire."
