Tense moments at Koyambedu after three buses gutted

"This is usually an idle parking slot and police are verifying the footage on how the fire started. This is the first time such a blaze occurred at the terminus," a CMDA official said adding that action will be taken after the police report. Police said after the fire started, there was a scare. "Immediately after the blaze was noticed, the driver of a bus by its side attempted to move the vehicle. Unfortunately, fire spread to the tyre of his bus also and the driver abandoned the vehicle and ran away," said a police officer.There were no casualties. A police officer said that the drivers were taking a nap inside a bus when the fire started. They ran out after smoke engulfed the vehicle and alerted the fire station. CMBT police registered a case and enquiry is on. Meanwhile, police said there was a possibility of the drivers switching on the air-conditioner in the bus for sleeping. "We are enquiring if there was fluctuation in the system that led to fire from the air conditioner vent," a police officer said. Meanwhile, CCTV footage at the bus terminus is also being scanned by police. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.
