Bus fire

Past

Two crews from West Ashland attended a fire involving a single‑decker bus, which also spread to a nearby hedgerow and grass.

Firefighters used two sets of breathing apparatus, one main jet, one hose reel jet and beaters to extinguish the fire.

A road closure was put in place on the A422 to allow crews to operate safely.

Once the fire was under control, firefighters spent a considerable amount of time damping down and turning over to prevent re‑ignition and to protect surrounding property.
