Another Bus caught on fire in Gwinnett County, GA on Thursday July 23, 2009

There was another bus fire in Gwinnett County, GA on Thursday July 23, 2009 on I-85 North near the Indian Trial. Fire engines were sent out just before 8 a.m. There was heavy smoke coming from the engine compartment of the bus. The fire fighters put the fire out fairly quickly and the only damage to the bus was the engine compartment. Thanks goodness there were no passengers on this bus.
The first Gwinnett bus caught fire on March 27, 2009 on Nancy Hanks Dr. near Best Friend Road in Norcross. They blamed this fire on a faulty charger.
The cause of both of these fires appears to be the same.
