The vehicle fire has closed one lane and the hard shoulder on the M1 Southbound after J28, which links the motorway to the A38 between Alfreton and Mansfield.
Traffic is queuing from Tibshelf Services, between J29 and J28, and drivers are currently experiencing delays of 20 minutes to their journeys.
It is hoped that normal traffic conditions will return on the route by 11.15am.
