A DUNFERMLINE bus blaze is under investigation after a vehicle caught fire last week.

The Stagecoach service was evacuated at Lapwing Drive on Friday evening as flames ripped through the double-decker.

The driver raised the alarm at around 10.30pm as two fire engines were called out to the scene.

A spokesperson for Stagecoach East Scotland said: "There was an incident on Lapwing Drive in Dunfermline around 10.30pm on Friday involving a bus operating the 3A service.

"All passengers were evacuated safely from the vehicle.

"The bus driver contacted the emergency services and the fire service attended the scene.

"Safety is our absolute priority and we are carrying out an investigation into the cause of the incident."

A spokesperson for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: "The double decker was well alight when we arrived.

"Two appliances from Dunfermline attended and all persons had been evacuated prior to our arrival."

It's the second bus fire in West Fife in the space of just over a month.

The Press reported that another Stagecoach bus had caught fire in Steelend on Friday March 23.

The vehicle had developed a fault and the driver detected smoke coming from the rear of the bus.

Passengers fled and no-one was injured in the incident.
