SANTA MONICA—On Wednesday, July 1, the Santa Monica Police Department posted on their Instagram account at 11:42 a.m., footage of a double-decker bus that caught fire along Main Street.
In the video, the SMPD is seen safely directing traffic away from the scene to ensure that the Santa Monica Fire Department had room to operate. Footage of the incident shows that the bus had been pulled off to the side of Main Street and firefighters were actively taming the flames with an attack hose.
The SMPD reported that the incident had been secured and that there was minimal impact to Main Street and the surrounding area.
The SMFD and SMPD websites have yet to comment on the cause of the fire and whether any injuries occurred. To view the footage of the bus fire, visit the @santamonicapd Instagram account.
