Metro bus evacuated after fire scare by Lincoln Park

The call that went out this past half-hour as a “car fire” turned out to be a bus fire. Passengers on board a Metro bus southbound on Fauntleroy Way got an extra jolt to start their Monday – they had to evacuate their bus while firefighters handled the situation. One passenger told WSB they didn’t know anything was wrong until the driver pulled over at the north end of Lincoln Park and said, “Everybody off the bus!” Nobody was hurt; no major smoke/flames. (We’re checking which bus route – the display boards on the bus were all turned off while we were on scene.) 8:28 AM UPDATE: Linda Thielke with King County DOT says it was a 54, and the bus has been towed back to base to be checked out, while passengers caught the next bus.

    I love that the broken down bus has a “triple A” ad on it.
