Two MBTA employees found themselves in a bad situation when their MBTA bus burst into flames earlier this afternoon. They were both taken to the hospital.
It happened at the MBTA Arborway bus yard just outside of Forest Hills. The MBTA said the out of service bus had just returned to the yard when the flames were noticed.
MBTA employees attempted to put out the fire but were unsuccessful. The Boston Fire Department responded and extinguished the flames.
Two MBTA employees were taken to the hospital for possible smoke inhalation.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
