In Montreal, five children and their bus driver are unharmed after their electric school bus caught fire on Tuesday morning.
The incident happened near the intersection of Jean-Talon Street West and Victoria Avenue in the city's Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood.
In a statement to CBC News, the Centre de services scolaire de Montréal (CSSDM), the province's largest school service centre, confirmed the bus was transporting children attending one of its schools.
The school service centre told CBC News the driver parked the bus and got himself and the elementary school students off it after noticing an unusual odour.
