That appears to be simply the engine has decided to spray oil all up the back, rather than fire damage.

Those firemen have a fantastic aim with that foam and didn't spill a drop...

Seems to me a common oil problem as ive seen a number of buses/caoches end up looking like this after something has gone wrong within the engine bay......
These things happen from time to time but does not look to be any signs of a fire.

I may be wrong but if there was a fire, I would expect below the engine cover to be intact if not the engine cover would have melted. Does anyone agree?

If they are going on the 301/302 Golcar circulars, they should have ordered the Max version instead.

Looking through my pics of buses which have been on fire ,gereraly speaking if its a engine compartment fire then the engine cover is involved , however sometimes the bit below the compartment can get involved , preseumably due to dripping liquids that then catch fire |

I see, because I also remember seeing a pic of a Volvo Olympian which seemed to have a similar problem when its rear was all black and the bodywork seemed to be intact and no damaged pieces.

That is a conrod thrown through the side of the compressor-very common on B7L/TLs unfortunately.
