Thats worryingly flammable.
ISTM pretty normal for a commercial vehicle which carries a load of diesel.
It doesn't look like its the diesel thats burning though, it looks like its
the plastic panels.

Smart driver there - your bus catches fire so pull off the road and park it
next to someones house. A real rocket scientist that bus company has working
for them.
With the Kingston fire, if he had pulled up 100 yds further on he could
have burned the copshop.
