The fire broke out at?12:37 pm Thursday in the Bus 237, when it was passing by a primary school in the northern part of Guiyang. The fire spread so quickly that many people simply did not notice the hammers positioned on the bus to smash windows in emergencies, according to the victims.
Authorities are still probing into the cause of the fire.
