HGV Blaze Sparks Chaos on A2 Jubilee Way, Dover
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is battling a fierce fire involving a Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) on Jubilee Way (A2) heading towards Duke of York’s roundabout in Dover. The blaze has forced a full closure of the busy road as firefighters rush to contain the flames.
Firefighters Tackle Blaze with Foam
Emergency crews sprang into action, dispatching four fire engines to the scene after the blaze was reported. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus have used compressed air foam to douse the fire and stop it spreading.
Luckily, no injuries have been reported so far. However, the road closure is causing traffic headaches for commuters and hauliers alike.
Travel Chaos Expected – Use A20 Instead
Drivers heading to Dover Docks are urged to divert via the A20. But beware – expect heavy congestion and delays on this alternative route. Make sure to check live traffic updates before setting off.
Investigation Underway as Firefighters Monitor Situation
The cause of the HGV fire remains unknown. Authorities will launch a full investigation once the blaze is fully extinguished. Meanwhile, emergency services continue working tirelessly to reopen Jubilee Way safely.
The public is advised to stay alert and follow instructions from emergency personnel at the scene to help keep everyone safe.
