Police has responded to a fire outbreak that happened at about 10 p.m. on Wednesday.

A motor vehicle registration number UBD 269A Scania belonging to Link Bus Services caught fire at Wakaliga traffic lights.

According to the Kampala Metropolitan deputy spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigyire, no injuries or deaths were registered.

However, Owoyesigyire says that the bus didn’t have fire extinguishers on board.

“Our officers from the fire prevention and rescue services have noted that the bus had no fire extinguisher of its own. We advise all bus operators to have fire extinguishers in place in case of a fire emergency,” Owoyesigyire noted.

The fire incident comes about two weeks after the Ministry of Works halted the operations of Link buses following a fatal accident that claimed lives of more than 20 people and left several others injured.

While lifting the suspension, the Minister of Works and Transport, Gen. Edward Katumba Wamala, said that they had fully inspected the buses and found them fit to resume their operations.
