Heathrow fire: Car engulfed in flames outside Terminal 5
A car was engufed in flames outside Heathrow Airport early on Wednesday (21 January).
Video footage shows dark plumes of smoke coming from the burning vehicle, which had been parked in the Terminal 5 car park.
A Heathrow Airport spokesperson said: “Earlier this morning, our teams responded to a vehicle fire on the Terminal 5 Departures forecourt. The fire was extinguished quickly and there were no injuries. The airport is now operating as usual.”
