It's not everyday you see a LTC Bus engulfed in flames but that's what happened yesterday on Aldersbrook Rd. near Hawthorne Ave. in the Cities Northwest.

Luckily the Driver and sole passenger escaped uninjured in the fire that seemed to start just behind the Drivers Seat.

It was a huge fire as shown in the London Free Press this morning with one neighbour quoting "It was interesting," he said, noting it's the most excitement he's seen in the neighbourhood.

The cause of the fire is unknown but an investigation is underway as well as inspection of the 41 others that may have the same flaw.

Value of the Winnipeg built Inverto bus is about $470,000 and the bus is about 8-10 years old.
