Fire alarm on Christmas Day in the early hours of the morning in Axams in the Tyrolean district of Innsbruck-Land: a bus suddenly burst into flames shortly after departure. Luckily, no one got hurt. At that time there were no passengers on the bus.
The fire brigades from Axams and Grinzens were alerted to the vehicle fire around 6 a.m. Shortly after the bus driver drove off, he suddenly noticed heavy smoke developing in the rear of the vehicle. “The driver then immediately made an emergency call,” says police spokesman Stefan Eder when asked by “Krone”. No passengers on the bus. The bus then caught fire and was fully engulfed in a very short time. The driver was not injured. There were no passengers on the bus. The bus ultimately burned down completely. The cause of the fire may have been a technical defect. Dozens of Florianis with several vehicles were deployed.
