The Highways Agency, Kent Police, and Kent Fire and Rescue were promptly at the scene to manage the emergency. Although the flames from the van were successfully extinguished, the fire’s aftermath left the road surface severely damaged. Diesel and oil spilled onto the carriageway during the blaze, exacerbating the situation and complicating clean-up efforts.
