One bus was fully engulfed in flames and was significantly damaged, with two adjacent buses facing minor damage.

Fire crews were on scene until 3:30 a.m. working to clear smoke from the building. As it was outside of regular operating hours, the building was otherwise unoccupied at the time.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. However, an inspector has determined that it is not suspicious, according to the city.
