Melted to the ground, these twisted metal frames are all that are left of 30 coaches after a bus depot blaze.
The fire destroyed 30 coaches, five minibuses and a car and triggered a series of explosions.
It took more than 30 firefighters several hours to bring the massive blaze under control in the early hours of Sunday.
Fire investigators will today begin studying CCTV footage to discover if the fire at First Call Coaches in Pant Industrial Estate, Merthyr Tydfil, was deliberately started.
Describing the scene, Dewi Jones from South Wales Fire Service told BBC Wales: “There’s total devastation here, but in order for me to try and pinpoint where this started I need CCTV, something of that nature.
“The fire has caught hold and spread from one vehicle to the other and from a fire investigation point of view it’s important that I capture as much evidence as possible, and in particular having a look at the CCTV that is available in the surrounding area to try and establish where the fire initially took hold.”
He said there were a number of cameras on buildings in the surrounding area as well as on the first fire engines to arrive.
