LOS ANGELES — The members of the L.A. indie-pop group Muna are "all safe" after their tour bus caught fire Monday morning.

"[M]any personal items were lost but we're all safe, thank goodness," the band posted to its Instagram on Monday. The caption accompanied an aerial image of the group as seen on KTLA.

Muna's tour bus caught fire on the southbound 5 Freeway in Burbank, according to the local news station, leading to several lanes of the high-speed roadway being shut down. The incident occurred hours after the band performed at Stanford's Frost Amphitheater on Sunday.

The bus driver was reportedly not aware that the vehicle was on fire when California Highway Patrol received a call about a burning bus at approximately 8:20 a.m. The Burbank Fire Department was able to put out the fire after the bus pulled over just past the Buena Vista Street offramp. No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation, per KTLA.

Comprising lead singer Katie Gavin, lead guitarist Josette Maskin and multi-instrumentalist Naomi McPherson, Muna formed in 2013 after the trio met as students at USC. The band is on its Gets So Hot tour in support of its fourth album, "Dancing on the Wall."

Muna is known for political advocacy and being outspoken on issues including queer liberation, anti-capitalism and support for Palestinians. The band tackles a number of these themes on the album.

"I think we're all very politically minded individuals," McPherson said in a May interview with WBUR. "We live our politics in our creative pursuits as well, as most people with marginalized identities kind of inevitably end up doing. You can't help but be political."
