An investigation has been launched today after a bus caught fire in Aberdeen.
Firefighters and Police Scotland were called to attend the scene at Faulds Gate at around 7am this morning.
Two fire engines with nine crew members, a hose reel jet and a fan were used to extinguish the flames and then remove smoke from the vehicle.
A spokeswoman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service confirmed that the call for help was made by the driver of the bus.
She added: “There was a passenger on board at the time. We were called out at around 7am.”
