EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — All Sun Metro fixed and Brio routes will operate on a Sunday/holiday schedule starting Wednesday, Feb. 12, because of the fire at its Operations Center.
The temporary change to the operating schedule will remain in effect for one week until Wednesday, Feb. 19 and is necessary because of the impact of the fire, Sun Metro said.
Tuesday, a massive fire rocked Sun Metro’s Operations Center in East El Paso, 10151 Montana Ave.
Seven people were injured. Four were transported to the hospital for treatment of their injuries and three refused transport for further treatment.
