For indoor bus depots, sprinklers can be installed. However, it is not feasible to install smoke detectors as the exhaust smoke would also trigger the fire alarm.Smoke detectors are also not feasible for outdoor carparks.
CCTV may do but if it really were an arson and the culprit's face was recorded.

Six SBS double-decker buses burnt at Ang Mo Kio depot
SINGAPORE: Six SBS double-decker buses were burnt beyond recognition at the Ang Mo Kio Bus Depot at 3.30am on Sunday.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it dispatched two fire engines and 20 fire fighters to the scene.
The fire was brought under control within 30 minutes.
No casualties were reported and the cause of the fire is being investigated.
A spokesperson from SBS said the loss of the buses will have some impact on its operations.
However, SBS will try to minimise inconvenience to commuters by redeploying buses where possible.
The total cost of the six buses is believed to be about S$3 million as each new double decker bus costs about half a million dollars. -

They need the police, insurers, safety officers, amongst other people, to access the damage as well as gather evidence to investigate the cause of the fire. So how are the buses be able to be sent to the scrapyard, furthermore a SUNDAY?Your thoughts ran too much.

It's not the first SBS bus nor first bus in SG to get an EDS ... ... -
The fire could be cause by 2 reason :
1) Weather are hot and bus engine can be easily catch fire if the engine is super hot at start.
2) Someone smoke inside the bus depot and threw a cigarette on the glass near those DDs

SBS997A was indeed the very first SBS bus to have EDS (exclude SBS Leisure). But for SBS9888Y, the first double decker to have EDS. -
