The fire was reported to the city’s Emergency Situations Department at 11:51 a.m. The incident occurred at the intersection of Yangi Sergeli and Kipchak streets. Emergency responders arrived at the scene within four minutes and extinguished the blaze by 11:57 a.m. Fortunately, no casualties or injuries were reported.
This follows a similar incident in the Yunusabad district on the evening of December 18, when a passenger bus caught fire at a bus stop. No one was injured in that incident, but the vehicle sustained technical damage.
Authorities are investigating both cases to determine the causes of the fires.
