Umina firefighters extinguish bus blaze

The bus was well alight when fire crews arrived

Two crews from the Umina Fire and Rescue station rushed to Brisbane Ave on Thursday morning, March 16, to put out a fire on a bus.

The bus was well alight when firefighters, police and ambulance crews arrived at the Umina scene just before 9am.

The driver was the only person on board when the blaze broke out and he ran to safety.

Firefighters, wearing breathing apparatus, applied foam and water to the smoke and flames, quickly dousing the fire.

It’s not known yet what started the blaze.

Crews mopped up the scene while the bus was towed away.
