Delhi Fires: DTC Electric Bus and Moving Ertiga Catch Fire in Separate Incidents

Two major fire incidents were reported in Delhi last night, involving a DTC electric bus in Shastri Park and a moving Maruti Ertiga car near Yamuna Bank on the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway. The electric bus caught fire near an underpass, and the flames spread rapidly, engulfing the entire vehicle. By the time firefighters brought the blaze under control, the bus had been completely gutted. Fortunately, no passengers were on board, and no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is being investigated. In a separate incident, a moving Ertiga caught fire near Yamuna Bank while six people were travelling in it. As the flames spread quickly, all six occupants managed to escape in time, saving their lives. Fire services were informed, but the car was completely burnt by the time the fire tenders arrived. The incident also affected traffic movement on the expressway, with vehicles slowing down as the burning car was brought under control. Both incidents caused panic among people nearby, but no casualties were reported in either fire.
