FIREFIGHTERS have extinguished a blaze which caused traffic problems on the A40 near Witney today.
At its height, 25 firefighters were tackling the fire at a garage at Salutation Farm House, near Barnard Gate.
The fire in the single-storey double garage was spotted shortly after 5am.
Crews had to close one lane of the A40 because of smoke billowing across the carriageway.
Five crews and a water carrier were called to the scene and two hose reels and two jets were in use.
The blaze was put out shortly before 7.30am, but the garage was destroyed.
The A40 has been reopened and two crews remain at the scene damping down and removing debris.
