Three Buses Engulfed in Flames in Lord’s Bank

Police are investigating a fire involving three buses in Lord’s Bank Village, Belize District, early this morning. The three buses were engulfed in flames, leaving two destroyed and a third severely damaged. The buses are owned by Bernardo Bennett of Central Transit Bus Service.

A watchman asleep in one of the buses reported to police that he was awoken by one of the bus’s engines getting turned on, in which he then noticed flames coming from the bus. Despite his efforts to extinguish the flames, the fire spread to two other buses next to it.

Initial investigation revealed that two of the buses were insured, and all three together were valued at over $50,000.

The cause of the fire is still under police investigation.
