The blaze sparked a brushfire. The bus, operated by Coach America, had pulled onto the shoulder of the interstate, a major connector between Los Angeles and California's Central Valley. Glass windows broke and several explosions could be heard as the bus burned, and only a skeleton remained after the fire was out. The vehicle was en route to Bakersfield from the Los Angeles suburb of Torrance, Amtrak spokeswoman Karina Romero in Washington, D.C. said. Amtrak has bus connections in parts of California not served by rail. The cause of the fire was under investigation. After the nine passengers and the driver disembarked, the fire spread to nearby brush. Northbound traffic was brought to a halt when firefighters arrived on scene. The fire burned about 10 acres. In the same region, Los Angeles County firefighters were battling a 55-acre wildfire. More than 200 firefighters fought the Castaic-area blaze, which erupted at midafternoon in medium brush, said fire Inspector Steve Zermeno. An aircraft painted a line of pink fire retardant across hilly lands between the fire and a neighborhood of homes. Containment was estimated at 70 percent by nightfall. Elsewhere Friday, a fire burned eight acres of brush in Monterey Park next to the Los Angeles County Fire Department's headquarters. Firefighters also were still on the scene of a nearly completely contained 1,500-acre blaze that began early in the week on the Camp Pendleton Marine base in San Diego County. Weather was hot but not windy in Southern California, and humid air brought thunderstorms in the mountains and deserts. The National Weather Service said a strong upper-level high-pressure system centered over the desert Southwest will continue to bring hot temperatures across inland Southern California through early next week. Highs in the valleys were predicted to range between 95 and 105 degrees.
