KEY POINTS:
A fire destroyed a tourist bus on the Milford side of Fiordland's Homer Tunnel yesterday - the third such incident there since 2002. All 17 people on board escaped safely.
The coach was carrying Asian tourists, who later travelled on to Te Anau and Queenstown.
The fire disrupted the plans of about 175 tourists in Milford while the road was closed. The cause of the fire was unknown last night.
