Quote: "The man, who was in his 60s and who lived alone, was watching television when it burst into flames on Monday evening. Named locally as Wilson McGirr, he was a well-known and respected farmer in the area. It is believed Mr McGirr feared the television would set fire to the rest of his home and managed to take the set outside onto the road. However, it is understood he may then have suffered suspected heart complications possibly related to smoke inhalation. He managed to call neighbours but then collapsed at his house. Neighbours rushed to his aid and managed to carry out CPR and call emergency services. An ambulance took Mr McGirr to hospital where he remained in a critical condition yesterday. However, he passed away in the early hours of Wednesday morning."

Quote: "The company in charge of Rome's public transport, Atac, has launched an inquiry after another of its buses burst into flames – the seventh such incident this year. In the latest incident, a number 409 bus caught fire early on Friday morning as it was driving on the Via di Portonaccio, in the east of the capital."

Quote: "No one has been reported injured in any of the fires, which are common enough to have their own nickname among Romans: 'flambus', a reference to Trambus, as Atac was formerly known."

Note: I knew about a school bus that went up in flames in January near Teramo, but I hadn't heard about any of these burning flambuses, so these are the 241st, 242nd, 243rd, 244th, 245th, 246th and 247th buses to burn in 2018...
