CAUGHT ON CAM: Flames Engulf SEPTA Bus in South Philly

Flames engulfed a SEPTA bus early Friday, destorying the vehicle as it sat on a South Philly street.

Video captured the fire that tore through the bus while it was parked on Broad Street near Pattison Avenue, not far from the Wells Fargo Center, around 1:15 a.m.

The heat from the fire caused a PECO pole to melt and drop onto the bus, further damaging the fire-ravaged vehicle.

No one was on the bus when the blaze overtook it, according to SEPTA officials.

An investigation is underway into the cause of the blaze.
