fire crew extinguishes Highbridge bus blaze
 These
were the scenes in Highbridge on Thursday afternoon (August 21st)
as fire crews tackled a bus fire in the centre of the town.
A
Burnham fire engine was called to the bus stop outside The George
Hotel in Church Street at 4.11pm after a report of smoke emerging
from underneath the bonnet of a bus.
 Fire
spokesman Paul Slavin told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "One fire
engine was mobilised to this incident, which was a small
fire in the engine bay of a bus."
"It
was caused by an electrical short circuit."
He
added: "It resulted in 5% damage by fire and heat to the
engine compartment and was extinguished with one hose reel jet."
