Fire crews are yet to determine the cause, but an investigation is underway.
A spokesman for the Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service confirmed that in total nine lorries, two mini buses and a private hire car caught fire at around 1.15am.
A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said it received a call to reports of a fire at 1.37am and left the scene at 8am this morning.
