luckily only the driver was on board and he got off safely... however, the asphalt BENEATH the bus was damaged and the firefighters had to just let the fire burn itself out.

 

normally we don't see these fires in the winter around here... we see them in the SUMMER when the a/c compressors catch fire! LOL!

 

(we're all wondering how long it takes before one of the brand new light rail trains catch fire now...)
