A large tour bus caught fire in downtown Sitka on Tuesday (9-9-25).
In an interview with KCAW, a representative from the Sitka Fire Department said that shortly before 3 p.m. they received a call alerting them that the back of a Sitka Sound Cruise Terminal shuttle bus was burning on Lake Street, near the roundabout. Six firefighters responded, and had fully extinguished the blaze by 3:30 p.m.
The Sitka Sentinel reported that passengers exited the bus safely and there were no injuries. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
