Jerrod Niemann is safe, albeit a little distraught, after his tour bus caught fire in Chattanooga, Tenn., last night (March 6). The 'Shinin' on Me' singer had just finished a performance at a St. Jude Benefit and was relaxing on his bus with Lee Brice, songwriter Jon Stone, Jerrod's father and uncle, when a member of the entourage noticed something was wrong.

"We're in [the bus] and Jon comes over and says 'Your bus is on fire,'" Jerrod told TV station WRCB/Chattanooga. "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 gets off the bus and is like, 'Dude, that's black smoke. Your bus is on fire.'"
