Massive Fire Breaks Out in Gloucestershire, Disrupts M5 Traffic
A significant fire erupted in Gloucestershire, sending large plumes of black smoke into the sky. The blaze, reported to be ongoing as of 4:45 PM on March 15, 2024, appears to have originated near Moreton Vallance, just south of Hardwicke. Local residents expressed concern as the smoke became visible from considerable distances, indicating the intensity of the fire.
The incident briefly affected traffic on the M5 motorway, particularly around Junction 12 at A430 (Quedgeley/Hardwicke). Motorists reported queuing in both directions due to the smoke, although traffic has since resumed normal flow. Videos shared on social media captured the dramatic scene, illustrating the fire’s scale and the visibility of the smoke from the motorway.
Emergency services were dispatched to the scene to manage the situation and ensure public safety. Local authorities have urged residents to stay clear of the area and avoid inhaling smoke, which can pose health risks. As of now, there have been no reported injuries, but the response teams continue to assess the situation.
Residents are advised to monitor updates from emergency services and local news to stay informed about the ongoing response to the fire. Further details will emerge as the situation develops, and officials work to bring the blaze under control.
