PASSENGER BUS BURNT
SOON A HEAP OF SCRAP METAL Dominion Special. Christchurch, November 29. A passenger bus which left Christchurch for Oxford about seven o’clock on Saturday evening was destroyed by fire on the trip. When the driver was engaged in putting on a spare wheel, with his engine running slowly, there was a sudden burst of flame under the bonnet near the petrol tank. The mishap was apparently caused by a short circuit. The driver could do nothing to extinguish the fire, which burned fiercely when the petrol tank burst, and the bus was soon a heap of scrap metal.
