BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — A charter bus fire that shut down northbound Interstate 95 on Wednesday was carrying Apollo Elementary School students on their way home from a field trip, according to a spokesperson for Brevard Public Schools.

The bus was immediately evacuated. All students are safe, and there were no injuries, according to Director of Communications, for Government and Community Relations for Brevard Public Schools Yvette Cruz.

Brevard Public School buses were sent to pick up the students and bring them back to Apollo Elementary in Titusville, where their parents can pick them up, Cruz said. 

The charter bus was transporting fifth-graders after a field trip held at Patrick Space Force Base, she said.

No other details were available.
