It has just been learned that earlier Wednesday afternoon the Dixie Echoes bus caught fire while parked at the home of Shirley Shelnut (wife of the late Dale Shelnut). While visiting with Mrs. Shelnut, Stewart Varnado and Shelnut noticed a large amount of smoke coming from inside the bus. Varnado opened the bus door to investigate when he was met with flames and smoke. Varnado attempted to put out the fire with a hose while waiting for the fire department who was able to extinguish the fire when they arrived.

While the bus suffered fire damage to the front lounge and major smoke and water damage, no one was injured and no damage was done to sound equipment or product. It is said the group will keep their dates for this weekend and will be using a motor home.

There has been no indication as to the cause of the fire at this time.
