Police announced on Sunday morning that a fire that destroyed 35 buses in Ramat Gan the day before was not caused by a criminal act and that an examination of 15 securit cameras showed no one suspicious entering the premises.

Furthermore, fire and rescue services said the rate at which the first bus burned was too slow to be consistent with arson.

The fire erupted Saturday afternoon at a Dan bus lines' company parking lot located adjacent to the Ayalon mall, immediately spreading among the closely packed buses, though no injuries were reported.
