Fire crews tackling bus blaze in Broughty Ferry

FIRE crews have tackled a large blaze on a bus in Broughty Ferry, with all passengers escaping without injury. 

The Courier reported that locals heard explosions and could see smoke coming from a Stagecoach vehicle on Strathern Road, close to the Gardyne college campus.

A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “We received an alert at 2.30pm of a vehicle on fire on Strathern Road.

“Two appliances, one from Kingsway and a second from Macalpine Road stations, were dispatched and on arrival found a bus to be alight.

“Both crews remain at the scene. There are currently no reports of any injuries.”

One eyewitness told The Courier: “I saw a lot of firefighters and other emergency services at the scene as clouds of thick black smoke was coming from the bus.

“It was awful to watch. I hope nobody has been injured as it looked very serious indeed.”

Stagecoach said that there were about 10 passengers safely evacuated while the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said there were no reported casualties.
