A school bus full of children caught fire in Ohio during the morning route to school on Thursday, but the driver ushered all of the students to safety, officials said.

“The bus driver acted quickly and got all of the students off the bus and to safety,” the fire department said. Photos shared by the fire department show the bus fully engulfed in flames as firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze.

The students were picked up by another school district vehicle and transported to school. No injuries were reported.
