A Tahlequah Public Schools bus caught fire while running a route on Basin Avenue Monday morning. According to TPS Superintendent Shannon Goodsell, a group of parents noticed flames coming from under the bus, and brought it to the bus driver’s attention. The driver then evacuated the bus and put the fire out. “There were no injuries, and [Executive Director of Technology and Operations] Terry Garrett dispatched another bus in plenty of time to get the children to school,” said Goodsell. “We’re very pleased with the way the situation was handled. The Tahlequah Fire Department was dispatched and was on scene for approximately 15 minutes.
