“This morning a fire broke out on a school bus in Hackney. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined,” the Hackney Councilman tweeted.
It was a neighborhood resident who alerted the authorities around 8:15 a.m.
“We see the school bus pass by our house every day. We then saw streams of photos informing us that the bus was on fire, ”reports the neighbor.
“All the children have been removed [de l’autobus en flammes] very quickly, it was everyone’s main concern,” she says.
