Bus Fire on Bolton Road: Driver's Quick Action Saves the Day

0:00On March 3rd, firefighters rushed to Bolton Road in Atherton last night after a double-decker bus caught fire around 7pm on Monday. The driver of the B-network 582 service spotted a vehicle problem while carrying passengers and quickly got everyone off safely before. Crews arrived. No one was hurt, and the quick response from stations in Atherton and Henley kept things under control with no major damage to the area. Firefighters used hoses to put out the flames and stayed on scene for about 50 minutes to make sure everything was secure. The bus was then taken back to the depot for checks, reminding us how vital those driver alerts can be on busy routes.
