Yet, 4552, IIRC, is back in service.

I never looked on 4552 when it caught on fire. Anybody have photos of the damage on that bus?

Is this another going to be retired due to a fire? And this fire started from the brakes again? I hope Septa is looking into the Eldorados because pretty soon another fire can happen on one and maybe it can be even worse.
Transit bus fires are common for major Transit Authorities. Baltimore MTA had many of them over the years. So did NYCMTA. And Im sure NJT has had them recently as well. Plus its not just Eldorados SEPTA is losing from fires. SEPTA lost so far 5155, 5221, 5279 as well as other NABIs from fires. And so far only 1 New Flyer was retired due to a fire and that was 8046. And I do suspect 8046 was also a rear brake fire since the entire coach was engulfed by fire.
