Firefighters have put out the flames on a car alight in Strand-on-the-Green in Chiswick this afternoon.

The blaze on the Thames Road near the post office has led reports of traffic chaos in the area.

One fire engine and five crew members attended to the blaze and managed to put the fire out in less than 20 minutes.

The London Fire Brigade said it was called at 3.40pm to reports of a car alight and had the fire under control by 4pm. There were no reported injuries but the incident had led to congestion.
