A bus carrying the UMass Lowell marching band caught fire on Sunday. The Westwood Fire Department received several reports of a bus on fire on High Street (Route 109) near Grove Street around 1:30 p.m. Upon arrival at the scene, the fire was spreading from the outside of the bus to the inside handlines, the fire department said. The bus had been evacuated after a student reported an odor, smoke, and flames, UMass Lowell said in a statement.
No one was injured after a tour bus in Cape Cod was completely engulfed in flames Saturday afternoon, fire crews said. The driver of the bus was able to evacuate all of the passengers before firefighters arrived around noon on Saturday, the Wellfleet Fire Department said. Crews found a bus "fully engulfed in flames, with fire burning in the brush approaching a nearby home." Firefighters knocked the fire out, the department said, and prevented it from spreading to the home.
