Bixby Schools says they don't know how much all the repairs are going to cost and it's going to take several weeks before they're done.

A portion of the roof and several roof supports had to be replaced after a school bus caught fire inside the transportation shop.

The fire totaled the bus and caused a lot of damage to the building and the offices.

Fire investigators say a broken bracket in the engine compartment of the bus rubbed off some insulation on a main battery cable, causing a short and sparking the fire.

The bus was out of service because the driver noticed an electrical smell the day before.
