A fire that gutted at least 19 cars at Stansted airport’s long stay car park was due to an electrical fault, investigators believe.
The blaze, which took around 20 firefighters to put out, was reported around 2am on 30 August.
Crews used four hose reels and one main jet to get the fire under control after it spread through cars that were parked close to one another.
Initially the airport’s fire service attended the scene alone but was forced to call for back up from Essex Fire and Rescue Service.
It was extinguished just after 4am. A spokesman from the county’s fire service told info4fire the incident was not being treated as suspicious.
However, he said it was “hard to tell” in which car the fire had started because of the scale of damage. Investigators have narrowed the possible vehicles down to three.
