The fire has destroyed at least 37 buses – a third of bus firm Western Greyhound’s fleet.

Western Greyhound has been operating buses in both counties since 1998.
It describes itself as a “locally based, family-run business”.
The cause of the fire is being jointly investigated by Devon and Cornwall Police and Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service.

West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester firefighters tackle moorland fires
At its height, the fire front stretched for more than one mile (1.6km).
Fire service officials hope predicted rainfall will dampen moorland and the weather will help prevent further outbreaks.
Robin Ward, of West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue, said: “It’s very much an on-going situation, we’ll be monitoring it for the next couple of days.
Pete Buckley, from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, said crews had been forced to withdraw from the hillside as darkness fell on Tuesday evening “for safety reasons” and were then tasked with protecting “isolated local buildings”.
