Electric Buses Catch Fire Near Epic Universe
In a developing story, two of Universal Orlando Resort’s new electric buses caught fire on Friday afternoon near the site of the Epic Universe theme park. Details are still emerging, and it is not yet known what caused the fire or if there were any injuries.
According to initial reports and video from local news station WESH2, first responders were on the scene quickly. The footage showed the two buses smoldering after the blaze was apparently extinguished. The incident occurred on a roadway just outside the Epic Universe campus.

While early reports referred to the vehicles as “tour buses,” the Universal globe logo was clearly visible, identifying them as part of the resort’s official fleet. Upon closer inspection of the footage, the buses appear to match the new electric models that Universal Orlando debuted earlier this year.
As of Friday afternoon, there has been no official statement from Universal Orlando Resort or local officials regarding the cause of the fire. It also remains unconfirmed whether any guests or team members were aboard the buses at the time of the incident. This is a developing story, and more information will be reported as it becomes available.
