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
2nd one cant be because you are not allowed to smoke in the Gas station, let alone depots
1st one more possible

I only took SBS9888Y on 25, 133, 154 when it was perm on these services.. by breaking the bad news about the demo bus being burnt down on a pre-dawn fire, it is a catastrophic waste..

AMK Deport never learn a lesson from last big fire that burn at the bus service 143 parking space that fire got 3 buses burned. should the deport expand the space of the bus park or get a new and bigger bus park so that the buses could not park so near to each other?
And have a few bus mechanic to check the buses that return to the deport at night for sign of engine over heating and also inspect the electrical part of all the buses especially the old buses every week for defect.
And also park all the new buses to one side and old buses another side of the deport to pervent heavy damange to new buses in case of fire, at least the old have one or two years on the road the cost of replacing them is less compare to the new buses.

Lets make 7 March a "9/11" for Singapore Buses.

Of course they have bought insurance. Would be crazy if they didn't.

What if it was a new bus actually caught fire? Wouldn't they have to scrap WAB status of some routes?

the first part makes sense though, think what will happen if the engine is overheat
