One Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service (CFRS) crew from Chester was sent to the motorway between Hoole and Littleton shortly before 3pm on Tuesday. A spokesman for CFRS confirmed action was required to ensure the vehicle was safe to be used. They said: “Firefighters used a hose reel jet to cool the engine compartment of a car after a mechanical fault caused it to overheat. “A thermal imaging camera was used to monitor the vehicle's temperature and ensure it had cooled sufficiently.”
