BURNING vehicles and a garage blaze were among the incidents dealt with by firefighters this week.

An electrical fault was thought to be the cause of a bus fire on Clifton Lane in Clifton at around 5.40pm on Tuesday evening.

A crew from Rotherham station attended the incident on the single-decker bus, which no passengers were on at the time, and left the scene half an hour later.
