About 20 passengers aboard a passenger bus in the southwestern
Chinese city of Zunyi have escaped injury after their bus caught
fire on Saturday, a report said.
The fire broke out shortly before 10 AM as the bus traveled
along a street in Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, the Guizhou Commercial News
reported.
A bus company employee tried using a fire extinguisher but had
no success, and an explosion inside the bus caused the flames to
spread, the report said.
A local fire brigade soon arrived and took around one hour to
extinguish the blaze.
The cause of the fire is not known.
