FIVE electric double decker buses have exploded at the Potters Bar Bus Garage near London.
Video footage posted on line shows flames and thick black smoke billowing skywards from the garage in the High Street, as by-standers watch on in horror. Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said six fire engines had been sent to the scene. The fire brigade urged the public to avoid the area and said the emergency could last for a “long time”.
In a statement, they said: “We are currently in attendance at this large fire.
“This is likely to be burning for a long time.
“Please avoid the area if you can, and keep doors and windows closed if you live in the area.
Images captured by Shaun Cunningham show firefighters attempting to douse the flames with water.
However, as they struggle to contain the fire, a huge ball of flames erupts from the burning buses.
