A TMB bus serving the H8 line was completely destroyed by fire this Wednesday, March 18, on Berenguer de Palou street in the La Sagrera district of Barcelona.

The incident occurred around 10:00 AM, directly in front of the Els 30 Passos school. According to transport officials, several passengers were on board when the fire started, but they were all evacuated quickly and no injuries were reported.
Several Barcelona Fire Brigade units responded to the scene and managed to extinguish the blaze. However, the vehicle was left entirely charred, and a large column of black smoke was visible from various points across the Sant Andreu area.
Traffic was temporarily diverted, affecting bus lines H8, V29, V31, 34, and 126. Normal service was restored by 11:30 AM after the wreckage was cleared from the road.
