Firefighters from the London Fire Brigade were called to South Street at around 2.07pm today with reports of a vehicle fire, where a car was engulfed in flames.
It took emergency responders just thirteen minutes to put out the flames. South Street continues to be closed in both directions between Oldchurch Road A1251 and Brentwood Road.
An incident warning continues to appear on AA road maps in the aftermath of the fire, affecting several bus routes which have been rerouted.
The cause of the fire has yet to be confirmed, but it appears to have originated from the bonnet of the car, resulting in significant damage.
