Another City Bus Fire in Warsaw City Center

A line 507 bus caught fire in the engine compartment on Aleje Jerozolimskie on Wednesday afternoon, marking the second incident involving this Solbus model in recent days.

Emergency Response on Aleje Jerozolimskie

On Wednesday at approximately 4:52 PM, a city bus operating on line 507 caught fire in the engine compartment while in the center of Warsaw at Aleje Jerozolimskie 45.

The bus driver acted quickly, using powder fire extinguishers to contain the flames before the arrival of three fire department units. This rapid intervention prevented the fire from spreading to the rest of the vehicle.

Site Inspection and Traffic Impact

Firefighters arrived to secure the area and used a thermal imaging camera to ensure no hidden embers remained in the engine bay. No injuries were reported during the incident.

The emergency operation required blocking two traffic lanes, which caused significant congestion in the city center during the afternoon rush hour.

Recurring Technical Concerns

This incident follows the destruction of another Solbus vehicle just days earlier on Aleje Stanów Zjednoczonych. The repeating pattern raises serious questions regarding the technical condition of this specific fleet and the necessity for immediate, comprehensive safety inspections.

The exact cause of the fire on the line 507 bus remains under investigation.
