A fully occupied bus was successfully evacuated after the engine compartment caught fire in Mosgiel this morning.
Mosgiel senior station officer Scott Lanauze said crews were dispatched to respond to reports of a bus fire in Quarry Rd about 100m from the Southern Motorway.
When they arrived at the scene they found a well-developed fire at the back of the bus.
Two high-pressure hose reels were used to put the fire out and everyone was successfully evacuated from the bus.
