, in the province of
Tucumán
, there were moments of despair among the passengers of a bus that suffered a
fierce fire

Mendoza
.
The event occurred around 10:30 a.m. this Sunday in that town in the department of La Cocha and the incident was captured by footage of witnesses.
According to local media, the passengers were
seasonal workers
who went from Mendoza - presumably the Vendimia - to Tucumán.
Many saw
their wages lost in the fire
.
As seen in the videos, the victims of the fire had an intense time trying to
get out of the transport while the flames gained ground
.

decompensated
due to a nervous breakdown and had to be transferred to the La Cocha hospital.

due to a malfunction
, stopped the unit on the side of the road.
Minutes later, the bus began to burn and the passengers got out as they could.

Scare in Balvanera
Just two days ago, students, teachers and assistants from School No. 16 Presidente Miter, in Balvanera, had to be evacuated on Thursday due to a fire caused by an electrical fault.
There were no injuries.
The event was triggered by the
fire in the school's electricity chamber
located at 2800 Sarmiento, at the intersection with Pueyrredón Avenue.
Therefore, the teaching staff proceeded to evacuate students from all levels of the three-story school.
"A transformer from the Edesur company that is located in front of the school in the Once neighborhood suffered an overload and as a precaution the establishment was evacuated," explained Buenos Aires government sources.
"Before the incident, the directors immediately called 911 indicating that smoke was coming from an electrical panel that is in front of the school," they added.
Later, they confirmed that the firefighters controlled the fire that started inside the electrical panel.
