The fire broke
out at the Detroit Department of Transportation facility on the
city's east side, where one of the bus bays collapsed, Laura
Bonnell, a journalist for WWJ Newsradio, said on a Facebook Live
feed.
She said several explosions had been heard at the terminal.
It was not known if there were injuries. Fire officials were not
immediately available for comment.
It took firefighters about 90 minutes to contain the blaze,
which began at about 1:30 a.m., local Fox affiliate
Fox2Detroit.com reported.
It said 10 buses had been damaged and that bus travel would be
affected on Friday.
