The fire service said the diesel tank of the bus had split
The fire service has praised a driver for getting passengers to safety before a bus erupted in flames.. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said the driver did an "excellent job of ensuring all passengers had been evacuated from the bus".Incident commander Christian Orr said: "This was a difficult incident to deal with, because as well as a severe fire, the diesel tank of the bus had split, so we needed to stop large quantities of diesel from entering the drains and causing possible environmental damage.
They added: "Our driver contacted the emergency services who attended the scene and we have now opened an internal investigation into the cause of the incident. "We apologise for any inconvenience caused and would like to reassure passengers that we have an excellent safety record, all our vehicles undergo regular, extensive checks and maintenance and incidents of this nature are extremely rare."
