This came after Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service received reports of a vehicle fire shortly after 4pm.
On arrival at the scene, the fire crew closed the road to deal with the incident, which involved a car that was ‘well alight’.
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used a hose reel jet and dry powder fire extinguisher to put the fire out.
