Bus Catches on Fire while Driving

Are you a firefighter? Check out http://ActionVids.blogspot.com

At about 2:17 PM on January 7, 2008, a Bellevue police officer came across a full size (articulated) King County Metro bus that was on fire. It was "fully involved," according to the dispatcher. Bellevue Fire responded to the event and extinguished it. Specifically, light-force 7 and engine 6 responded. It was confined primarily to the engine and the back of the bus. No one was hurt. All lanes of eastbound 520 near 124 Ave NE were closed/blocked for a short time. Two Washington state department of transpiration WSDOT Incident Response Team vehicles responded, along with Washington State Patrol.

Note: the audio is not played in real time; meaning that space in between radio transitions was taken out.

Personal Note: I didn't get any shots of the fire trucks (sorry guys), but I hope the firefighter radio traffic makes up for it :)
