Strong winds accelerated the spread, gutting nearly 70% of the upper portion of the coach within minutes. The fire brigade was immediately called, and the blaze was brought under control by around 3:55 pm roughly 45 minutes after it started. Critically, the underslung equipment beneath the coach remained intact, and no other coaches or workshop infrastructure sustained damage, as the affected coach was promptly moved to an open area. No injuries were reported.
