BOSTON (WHDH) - One of the two MBTA employees hospitalized after a bus fire in Jamaica Plain on Thursday was released from the hospital Friday, according to MBTA spokesperson Lisa Battison.

The two employees unsuccessfully attempted to extinguish the fire after the bus caught flames shortly after 3:00 p.m. The Boston Fire Department eventually put out the blaze and the two employees were transported a local hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.

The other MBTA employee remains in the hospital, according to Battiston.

According to the MBTA, the bus was out of service, and no passengers were on board.
