by Kevin Sims A Hamilton County school bus catches fire on its way home Monday night, forcing about 35 elementary students to evacuate. The bus caught fire around 3:30 near the corner of Daisy Dallas and Lovell Roads. Hamilton County Emergency Services spokesperson Amy Maxwell says one student injured an ankle in the rush to get out of the emergency door. She did not know which elementary school the bus was coming from.Students were held on the side of the road until another bus could arrive and pick them up. They were then loaded and the regular route continued, all though Maxwell said parents should be aware they may be late arriving home. Maxwell did not know what sparked the fire on board the bus but firefighters are investigating.
