No injuries to report after an electric school bus caught fire this morning in Huntsville.
Around 8:30 a.m. fire crews were called to the scene on Earls Road and found the bus engulfed in flames.
The bus had broken down prior to the fire starting and the driver had called for a replacement bus which picked up the passengers shortly before flames became visible.
No cause has been determined. It’s not believed the large battery of the electric bus was involved. The Office of the Fire Marshal has been contacted.
A large amount of water was applied to extinguish the fire and the Town asks members of the community to avoid Earls Road between Muskoka Road 3 N and Campus Trail due to ice on the road.
