This was the dramatic moment fire crews dealt with a blaze that engulfed a Greater Manchester Police car off the M60 motorway. Two fire engines were sent out to deal with the incident, by the exit slip road at junction 23 near Ashton-under-Lyne.
Crews were called out to the scene at around 10.30pm last night (December 4). Images from the scene show flames soaring from the bonnet of the Hyundai i30 police car.
A video, filmed shortly after, shows fire crews in attendance off Manchester Road. Firefighters were in attendance for 30 minutes.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said: “At around 10:30pm on Sunday (December 4), firefighters were called to reports of a vehicle fire involving a police car on the M60 at junction 23. Two fire engines from Hollins and Ashton fire stations quickly attended the scene.
"Firefighters used one hose reel and breathing apparatus to extinguish the fire. Fire crews were at the scene for around half an hour.”
