Wimbledon: Electric double-decker bus catches fire during rush hour

Electric fires are no joke. I'm glad no one is hurt and that this might open up discussions about how to avoid future incidents.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

An electric double-decker bus caught fire during the morning rush hour in south-west London.

No injuries have been reported but a critical incident was declared, police said.

Max Pashley, a local resident, told City A.M.: "We heard a huge bang.

Road closures and cordons are in place and are expected to be for some time.

A Met Police spokesperson said: "We thank the local community for their patience and co-operation as emergency services work at the scene."

BBC News has contacted Transport for London (TfL) for comment.
