Fire crews extinguished a bus fire north of Lacombe this morning on Highway 2 near Twp. 414.

Ryan Morden, a captain with the Lacombe Fire Department said there were no injuries and the roughly 12 passengers had already been evacuated when firefighters arrived to a fully-involved vehicle.

Contrary to initial reports, he says the vehicle was not a school bus.

“It didn’t have any names on the side. It was just a generic passenger bus, from what we could tell,” he said.

Morden said crews were able to extinguish the fire within five minutes.
