Spooky - and both incidents on the M3 within days of each other.
Would be interesting to find out what caused of this fire.

How, then, would it 'run away'? I would imagine that any fire that burned through (plastic) pipes would enable the spring brakes to apply rather than release . . . Then you have a problem moving the casualty (like when a Routemaster ended up in Highgate pond after damaging the brake-lines when it left the carriageway, applying the spring brakes . . . . . . so, bus in pond with spring brakes applied and (submerged) pipes damaged).
