Auckland Transport was like, “Wow, great job!” to a bus driver who totally saved the day when his bus went up in flames. The crazy incident went down in Epsom around 6.10pm, with a diesel bus on route 295 catching fire out of nowhere.
The driver wasted no time in getting everyone to safety, making sure all the passengers got off the bus without a scratch. He even helped out one passenger who had trouble moving, making sure they were out of harm’s way before the fire spread like wildfire. A fire investigator is on the scene trying to figure out what the heck caused the fire in the first place.
Not really sure why this matters, but it’s important to give props to the driver for being a total hero in this crazy situation. The fact that everyone got out safely is a miracle in itself. Hopefully, they can figure out what went wrong so it doesn’t happen again. Kudos to the driver for keeping his cool and making sure everyone was okay.
