A dramatic incident unfolded in north-west London when a double-decker bus caught fire during its route, forcing passengers to evacuate. Eyewitness reports and footage captured the alarming scene, showing flames engulfing the rear of the bus, and a thick plume of smoke billowing from the upper deck. Emergency services were swiftly notified, and two fire engines attended to contain the blaze that erupted around 7pm on Sunday, February 15, on Kilburn Lane.

The rapid response of the London Fire Brigade ensured that all passengers were safely evacuated before firefighters arrived. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported from the incident, although the sight of a bus on fire left stranded commuters in shock. As firefighters fought to extinguish the fire, which they managed to contain by 7:42pm, the road was temporarily closed to facilitate their operations.

In the aftermath of the incident, an investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the bus fire. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential hazards of public transport, even as emergency protocols were effectively executed to ensure passenger safety.
