Abstract:This on-site investigation focused on the origin of a fire that consumed an in-transit motorcoach that was occupied by a 46-year old male driver and 46 passengers consisting of 33 females, ages 5-16 years of age and 13 adult chaperones, ages unknown. The fire was determined to have originated in the turbocharger of the rear-mounted diesel engine. The driver of the motorcoach brought the vehicle to a controlled stop on the shoulder of an interstate roadway. The motorcoach was completely destroyed by the fire. All occupants safely exited the motorcoach without injury.
