A fire at a bus station in west London on Sunday destroyed ten buses and damaged two others, briefly forcing the closure of the busy A40 road into the capital, police said, according to Reuters. Police and fire fighters were called at 9:54 a.m. to the fire at Westbourne Park Bus Garage. "At that stage three of the buses were on fire and there were several subsequent explosions as a result," a police spokeswoman said. Around 40 firefighters and eight fire engines brought the blaze under control by late morning. Police shut the A40, which passes over the garage, because of smoke from the fire. The road reopened around noon, with other local streets reopening at 1:35 p.m. Nearby buildings were briefly evacuated but residents were later allowed to return. Police believe no one was injured in the blaze.
