The first images are impressive.
A bus on line 86 of the RATP caught fire this Monday afternoon around 4:15 p.m. at 64 boulevard Saint-Germain, near the Maubert-Mutualité stop.
And the first videos of the fire, which quickly circulated on social networks, show a bus enveloped in flames, all emitting heavy black smoke.
