We know you like your "hot country news" but this might be too much. Everybody is safe after Jerrod Neimann's tour bus caught fire last night in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Jerrod tells WRCB TV he had just performed for Heart Strings for Hope, a benefit for St. Jude Children's Hospital when everyone piled on the rig to leave town Jerrod's pal Lee Brice and songwriter Jon Stone were among those on board, "We're in there and Jon [Stone] comes over and says 'Your bus is on fire." Jerrod says. "And I'm like 'Dude, your gun's shot. Our bus is not on fire.' I thought it was the heater. So I went to the thermostat and it says "Auto Cool". So Lee [Brice] get's off the bus and is like "Dude, that's black smoke. Your bus is on fire" Thankfully, Jerrod believed him. "So we get everyone off - my family and everyone, and pretty soon we hear this 'Boom!' and we think it's the fuel line, but we look and the whole front windshield was just blown out." Jon had captured the burning bus on video and posted it on his Facebook page before firefighters arrived. See the video here. Jerrod is thanking his lucky stars. "This is where I have to say, to anyone that does not believe in God: If we were on the road driving we would've never smelt it The smell would've been going down the road. It would've lit up. I would've been in the back room. My own father - I don't care if I die, but my own father and uncle, this one night on the bus, just, no. So we're so, so thankful." Read all about it here. Lee may be thinking this is a definite case of deja vu, as in January, his bus caught fire outside Toby Keith'sI Love This Bar and Grill in January. Jerrod and the guys were taking pictures and shaking their heads a safe distance away, but at least he could maintain his sense of humor when he tweeted, "To be honest, thank the good Lord that@leebrice was here tonite or I'd be freddy Krueger." No word yet on what caused the blaze. In the meantime, check out Jerrod's new single, "Shinin' on Me!"
About Me: I should have known I was destined to have a career where all I do is talk when I was in kindergarten at Plattsburg Elementary in the late 60's.
