Danfo Bus full of passengers catches fire at CMS (Photos & Video)

Fortunately no one was injured as all passengers managed to run out of the bus before it was completely engulfed. It happened around 8 this morning at CMS, just by BRT Bus Stop.

Eye witnesses said Lastma officials got to the scene like 3 minutes after the occurrence and they maintained free flow of traffic and contacted the fire service immediately. But till the bus burned out, no fire service was seen.

See video after the cut...

It is only in my dear country that fire service responds to emergencies an hour after they are been contacted.

They probably arrived after the bus had finished burning, typical.

@ Patrick, what did you expect to see? Did you expect Lastma men to hold the bus while burning or to sit on the burning bus.? The report said, they were controlling traffic. Were they supposed to control traffic in front of the bus? We must learn to assess situations logically and tactfully.

we tankGod bcos his mercy stay endure praise ye the lord!!!

Unknown said...

WEll for sure we thank God, but as it is next time, such happens, the road has to be closed temporarily and divert traffic properly cause see how the bike man is close, what if it explodes...common!

Dr. Rukevwe said...

Thank God nobody died. But I wanna believe there's a reasonable explanation why the Fire Service didn't show up leaving the entire bus to be torched.

More so, some of these commercial buses are not roadworthy; they should be checked. Passengers may not be that lucky next time.

Anonymous said...

Thank God no one was hurt. But then again,its these bus drivers that road safety should stop and check for fire extinguishers and general road worthiness. But no, they wont. Sad much. The other day, i saw a big commercial bus fuming with a lot of smoke and with passengers inside! They passed the road safety guys and they werent stopped! But they were more interested in private cars. We will get there someday...

HAHA@Patrick, if you are a LASTMA official will you go near that danfo?
I know before that bus caught fire it must have been giving a warning signal this last 8months.

@Austin you started well and ended stupidly.what the fuck is that "lolz" for in your statement about a tragedy.you need Jesus

Anonymous said...

Stand and watch? Traffic shouldn't have even been let through until the fire was put out. Not only are cars and bikes passing through, they are not even using the emergency lane on the extreme right. So sad how we handle emergency or hazardous incidents.

how fast do u think the fire service would av flew considering it was early in the morning, perhaps they av not even taken their bath or breakfast self, as if u dnt know they are not patriotic, its just best to have fire service at every bus stop in lagos if you really need prompt service.....Thank God for infinite mercies, no life lost!!

Q:
Why are you calling fire service?
A:
As the bus driver no get extinguisher now...(which by the way he is supposed to have according to the law)

Moral of the story: Efrybody get a modafackn extinguisher in your car/bus/jeep.

Conclusion: Highly unlikely people will give a shit. They will still be calling fire service...
after bus done burn finish.
