All Floyd County Schools were in session Monday after a fire heavily damaged the district's school bus garage over the weekend. The fire was reported late Saturday night and Martin Fire Department was joined by Left Beaver Fire and Rescue and Maytown Fire Department in extinguishing the blaze. Crews were on scene until well into the early morning hours. The fire gutted the garage, damaging a few buses and other vehicles that were inside the building, but most of the district's buses were safe on the lot outside. Bus drivers showed up to move the buses further away from the building while firefighters focused on putting out the flames and keeping them from spreading. At this time, the cause of the fire is unknown.
