Shropshire Fire and Rescue received a call reporting a HGV fire on the A5 on Tuesday morning.
The incident happened on the eastbound carriageway between Edgebold and Bayston Hill at around 11.36am, just a couple of hours after crews had left the A5 following a serious collision in the early hours.
Three crews from Shrewsbury and Telford Central were sent to the fire, which involved the front brakes on a heavy goods vehicle.
A spokesperson for Shropshire Fire and Rescue said the fire was out on arrival of the crews, who then escorted the vehicle towards Meole Brace Retail Park.
