Comedian Bert Kreischer’s tour bus caught fire around 11 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 94 about an hour outside Fargo, North Dakota, destroying the vehicle while it was parked along the highway.

Earlier, around midnight, the bus’s front right tire blew out on the highway, forcing Kreischer and his crew to get off and move to other buses, which is why none of them were on board when the fire started. At around 11 a.m. Sunday, the driver who stayed with the bus heard a pop from the roof and seconds later it filled with smoke and quickly went up in flames after he exited, and no one was injured. Could THIA have prevented this fire?
