A Rocky Mountain Transportation activity bus caught fire Saturday after transporting the Whitefish High School speech and debate team to a tournament in Ronan.

Ronan Fire Chief Chris Adler said crews were dispatched to Ronan Middle School at 5:30 p.m., after a passerby noticed the coach bus was on fire. 

All of the students were inside the school still participating in the tournament when the fire consumed the bus. The bus driver suffered some injuries and was treated for smoke inhalation.
