Seven passengers of a KL Rapid bus had the fright of their lives when the vehicle caught fire on Jalan Syed Putra heading to Jalan Klang Lama in Kuala Lumpur at about 8am today.
Hang Tuah Fire and Rescue Station senior operations commander Mohd Suhaimi Mohd Razali said the station received a call at 8.06am before 16 firefighters and six fire engines from the Hang Tuah and Seputeh stations rushed to the location.
He said a motorcyclist alerted the bus driver of the flame at the back portion of the bus.
“The bus driver immediately stopped the vehicle by the roadside and turned off the engine,” he said in a statement.
According to him, the bus was 90 percent destroyed and the cause of the fire is still being investigated.
