It's 195 which is praked over the pits in Cut End.
The front and all the nearside don't appear to have any visable fire damage and given the engine flap is raised and visable and again doesn't charred it couldn't have been much of a fire.
Arriva appear to have a policy of sending those with serious problems away for repair and this one looks like it being repaired on site.

The fire service ripped parts out of the engine with an axe so will need replacing Engine Parts or part of the engine compartment insulation and cladding? I cannot imagine any fireman wanting to send his axe into anything near to a fuelline and damage it. |

Well with it been an axe I would have thought it would have been pulled off with brute force hence why I said "ripped out"

195 was working a 202 to Shaw Cross when the fire started. It was parked on the Shaw Cross Roundabout when smoke was seen coming from the Engine Compartment.
When the Fire brigade arrived they had to remove the Alternator. The fire was confined to the Alternator and associated wiring plus some of the plastic ducting.
195 is currently over the pits having a new Alternator and engine wiring loom re-fitted.

195 was parked in Dewsbury Bus Station this afternoon so it must be available for service even if it wasn't actually in service this afternoon.

That would have been in the engine compartment. It was only to remove parts...
