The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency’s (MSB) fire database and statistics form the framework for the national statistics of all fires occurred in Sweden during each year. The data base is based on incident reports from the Fire Rescue Services (FRS). Since 2005, bus fires have separate category in the template for the FRS incident report. The purpose of this survey was to map bus incidents related to fire in commercial traffic between 2005 and 2013. The study includes a total of 1255 records spread over nine-year period. The average number of incidents per year related to fire between 2005 and 2013 was 104, which corresponds to 0.73 % of the buses in the commercial traffic. Cause of incidents has not been possible to map due to limitation in the data material. However, the study shows that most fire incidents originate in the engine compartment (61%), and that the wheel well is the second most common origin area of incident (20%). The study also shows that the bus drivers and staff have a very significant role in the initial stage of the fire-related incidents. Bus drivers extinguished the fire in 26 % of the cases prior to FRS arrival to the accident site.
