The Industrial Metal veterans are very lucky to have escaped unharmed
after their tour bus caught fire last night. Full story inside!
In the early hours of this Morning, all the members of Fear Factory
and their crew had to Escape from the tour bus they were on after it
caught fire.
In a full account of the fire, Fear Factory’s Dino Cazares said: “We
just finished playing a sold out show in Sheffield England and we were
on our way to London Airport to drop someone off. Everyone was asleep
except two crew. At about 3:30 am, the bus Driver noticed smoke coming
from the back right wheel. He stopped, jumped out and noticed a Flame
underneath the wheel well. He tried to extinguish it but the Flames were
too much.
“Everyone was woken up by one of our crew yelling get everyone up and
out of the bus. Everyone grabbed there bags and ran off the bus. We
stood on the side of the freeway going “thank GOD, we all made it out”.
Until someone noticed our merchandise guy was still asleep on the bus so
our good friend ran back on the smoked filled bus and got him out. Just
minutes before the bus was completely in flames.
“Our eyes are burning and we were all coughing from the smoke. Some
of us lost wallets, money, computers etc. But that’s not important
compared to our lives. It only took about 20 to 30 minutes for the bus
to be completely covered in flames. The fire trucks and the police
finally arrived but it was too late to save anything on the bus. I hope
they saved our trailer with the gear?
“A coach bus picked us up and brought us to a nearby hotel.
“We found out early this Morning that the trailer was saved and the
bus is just a metal frame on the side of the road. They had to scrape up
what was left of the bus from the Road because it melted into the
pavement.”
