Bus captain, 51, pauses bus journey to help extinguish Lamborghini fire at Holland Road
All SBS bus captains are given basic firefighting training.
On August 8th, bus captain Zhang Zhipeng, 51, came to the aid of a Lamborghini Aventador engulfed in flames along Holland Road. A video on TikTok captured the dramatic moment as Zhang, holding a fire extinguisher, approached the blackened rear engine compartment. The vehicle's smoke plume indicated a rear engine fire, with the car's engine compartment already coated in a fine white dust.
Zhang positioned the extinguisher on the car's rear and discharged the powder directly into the engine area, while an onlooker cautioned the duo to exercise caution. After extinguishing the fire, Zhang returned the extinguisher to his bus, parked safely away from the scene. SBS Transit praised Zhang for his prompt and decisive actions, commending him for his calm demeanor and dedication to ensuring passenger safety.
