A bus full of skiers overheated and caught fire as it was heading up Mt. Baker.
From the Bellingham Herald:
Skiers’ bus burns on Mount Baker Highway
A bus full of middle school-aged youths headed to the Mt. Baker Ski Area caught fire and burned near summit Saturday morning, Feb. 13.
A witness, Cameron Hamilton, 28, said he was driving up the Mount Baker Highway near the last big switchback before the ski area around 8:30 a.m. when he noticed traffic backing up. He rounded the corner to see flames shooting high into the air from a tour bus.
He saw about 40 to 50 middle school-age children had been evacuated from the bus.
Cameron took this photo - quite spectacular:
