Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, the Republican candidate for Virginia governor, and her team are safe after a fire on her campaign bus Thursday.

“While en-route to an event, our campaign bus caught fire. Everyone is safe. Thank you to the first responders who got to the scene quickly — we are so grateful for you,” her team shared on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Her opponent, Democrat Abigail Spanberger, says she’s keeping Earle-Sears and her team in her thoughts.

“I’m relieved to hear Winsome Earle-Sears and her team are safe after her campaign bus caught on fire this afternoon,” reads Spanberger’s post, which was shared around 1:30 p.m. “I’m grateful to our first responders for their quick action — and I’m thinking of the Lt. Governor and her team after this scary incident.”
