US EditionEV School Bus Goes up in Flames in Lake View Terrace
The driver was hospitalized for minor smoke inhalation after the electric bus fire, which involved lithium-ion batteries that can ignite at high temperatures, LAFD said.
- On Wednesday morning, a Los Angeles Unified School District electric bus caught fire beneath the Foothill Freeway in Lake View Terrace and became fully engulfed, prompting a hazardous‑materials response.
- Investigators focused on the vehicle's battery system as they probe the origin of the blaze, noting the lithium‑ion batteries require hours of monitoring by the Los Angeles Fire Department HazMat team.
- The bus driver was hospitalized for minor smoke inhalation after reporting symptoms and was taken to an area hospital, while no students were aboard and Osborne Street off‑ramps were closed with a Sigalert issued.
- Fire crews knocked down most of the blaze by 10:55 a.m., but Foothill Boulevard remained closed both directions for cleanup while HazMat units monitored air quality and runoff.
- Lithium-Ion battery fires can reach extreme temperatures up to 2,000 degrees, making them hard to extinguish; residual heat may cause combustion days later, as seen in the Vincent Thomas Bridge rollover incident requiring HazMat response teams.
