The cause of the fire remains unclear.

Witnesses said it all happened “very quickly” as drivers and pedestrians were crossing the bridge.

The blaze was extinguished using 4,000 litres of water and 50 litres of LGE foam, while police managed traffic.

The bus, which was completely destroyed, reportedly belongs to the company Novo Horizonte, which had not issued a statement at the time of writing.

No injuries or fatalities were reported.

The Amazonas Military Fire Department said it “remains committed to protecting the lives and property of Amazonas residents”.
