Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Several buses burnt on Saturday, April 17, after an inferno erupted at the Modern Coast Yard in Mombasa.<\/p>\n

The fire is reported to have occurred at a section of the yard next to Makupa Police Station.<\/p>\n

The flame engulfed two buses that were parked next to each other as the workers quickly moved other vehicles away from the fire.<\/p>\n

Mombasa county firefighters responded to the incident managing to contain the inferno.<\/p>\n

The two buses were completely burnt in the incident whose cause was yet to be established by the time of publishing.<\/p>\n

There have been various incidences of Modern Coast buses catching fire spontaneously.<\/p>\n

In November 2020, tens of passengers escaped death when the bus they were travelling in caught fire at Masimba township in Makueni county along the Mombasa-Nairobi highway.<\/p>\n

The fire incident was only noticed when bystanders in the town saw fire from its underside as it drove by.<\/p>\n

In 2018, a bus belonging to the same company caught fire on its way to Mtito Andei.<\/p>\n

The bus is reported to have been empty at the time of the incident, therefore, no casualties were reported.<\/p>\n

At the time, the Kwale County Commissioner confirmed the incident adding that the bus had come from Mombasa.<\/p>\n

“No one was injured as it would appear that the bus had no passengers at the time,” Ngumo reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
