A bus suddenly started to burn and then trapped an elderly citizen inside while passing through a busy street in Yibing City of southwest China's Sichuan Province on Wednesday.
Footage recorded by security cameras and witnesses' smart phones showed that around 20 passengers immediately got off the burning bus, which left one elderly citizen trapped inside.
The flame quickly engulfed half of the bus and even spread out when owners of some roadside shops broke the windows in efforts to save the trapped citizen.
One shop owner stepped into the flaming bus from the door and pulled the trapped citizen out.
People then contained the flame in about two minutes using fire extinguishers and water.
The fire fighters later towed away the burnt bus.
The accident caused no deaths but left the driver injured, according to police.
"Everyone would do the same as what I did under such circumstances. If I were trapped on the bus, other people will do the same thing to save me. It's normal," said Pan Haifeng, one of the shop owners joining the rescue.
The cause of fire is under investigation.
