just a short time ago, we were on the north side of the fort mchenry tunnel. and we saw what was described as the bus driver, walking out of border number 3, under his own power. and receiving assistance from firefighters nearby, apparently for what is believed to be minor smoke inhalation. what is going on right now is they have allowed some people to return inside of the fort mchenry tunnel to retrieve their cars. and what you're looking at is an evacuation of motor vehicles. and that's what you see occurring here now. there are no reports of injury at this point. we know it is a bus. we don't know what type of bus. whether it's municipal bus or motor coach. caught fire inside of border number 3. heavy smoke conditions were there for sometime. we have at least one or two smoke inhalation patients. and at this point, the cause is not known. transportation authority police have completely closed the northbound fort mchenry tunnel. we'll stay here and keep you updated. >> thank you, captain mike perry, reporting live. let's continue this breaking news. sharon g
