Another SOB disaster (fire)

[Terry Neal]

Gee Don,

Those folks are real lucky to be alive. I saw a similar fire a couple
of weeks ago on I90. Was going home to Bozeman in the evening & a
church group bus (I think it was an MCI 9) caught fire in the rear
engine compartment. Everyone got out ok but the bus basically just
melted into the pavement on the Interstate. Fire dept. trucks tried to
put it out with foam but it was too far gone by the time they got there.

Makes a person want to think about some sort of heat alarm system for
the back end? Possibly along with a Halon type extinguisher system?
Maybe include a camera in that compartment too? By the time you get one
of these stopped, it's probably going to be too late to do much with the
small extinguishers most of us carry anyway.

Thanks for sharing this with the group.
