Thirty-two children and five adults were rescued from a bus that became “fully engulfed” in flames Friday morning on Highway 17 in Santa Cruz. Officials say the bus’ engine compartment caught fire. “Thanks to the quick actions of the driver and chaperons, all passengers were safely evacuated before firefighters arrived,” the Santa Clara County Fire Department said on social media. No one was injured in the fire. The CHP first reported the fire around 9:30 a.m.
