On its way to an outing in Keystone, Colorado, the Purdue Ski and Snowboard Club woke up early this morning with its bus on fire.

Colleen Hatami was notified of the events by her son, Andre, an Indiana University student who was on the the trip with the Purdue club.

According to Hatami, everyone on board the bus exited safely, and local news station KSN reported a local school bus drove the members to a nearby high school.

According to Luke Mlakar, a Purdue junior in the College of Engineering, all but three students will continue to Colorado.

All equipment on board the charter bus was lost, according to Hatami.

"Some of them actually ran off without shoes," Hatami said.

Many students left the bus with no personal belongings at all.

"No one grabbed their carry-on items because we didn't realize the gravity of the situation until about five minutes later," Mlakar said in a Facebook message.

The incident occurred on Interstate 70 near Brewster, Kansas.
