Police confirmed a bus caught on fire shortly before 7 a.m. at 10495 Butterfield Street in Manassas.
Children were on the bus at the time of the fire, police said, but no injuries have been reported.

The driver and an aide assisted the students in getting off the vehicle safely.
A nearby car and shed were also damaged in the incident. Total damage is estimated at $100,000.
