Shortly after 5 a.m. on Thursday, an employee arrived at 355 Maple Avenue, where the bus lot is located, and noticed a bus had been burned in a fire.
As a precaution, the fire department extinguished any hot spots. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the fire.

A second bus and a service truck suffered damage caused by the fire.
