IRVING, TX — A small school bus caught fire Wednesday morning in Irving and was caught on video. Twitter user Juan Vazquez uploaded the video at 6:33 a.m. Vazquez claims the bus was on fire near the Whole Foods at 6741 N MacArthur Blvd.
The bus belonged to Coppell ISD and had students on it, J. Taylor, Irving's assistant fire chief, told Patch. The bus driver was able to get all the students off the bus right after the driver noticed smoke coming from it, Taylor said.
"He did a great job getting them off and to a safe distance. No injuries reported," Taylor said. "There's no reports of foul play."
