Glad to here you and your wife are safe and unharmed, if busless.
Realistically, it could have been much worse.  After all, we can replace a
bus with relative ease.  And from experience, you can never replace a life.

I have always carried  a small fire extinguisher in every one of my
vehicles.  And I have used three or four of them on vehicles other than my
own.  Maybe this will serve as a wake up call to those of you who do not.
They really are a small price to pay for the added security.

Good luck finding another Westie.
