Hillary Scott is currently posting updates about the fire. On the Lady Antebellum Facebook page, Scott writes, "We had quite a few personal belongings in the back where I was asleep before evacuating the bus, one of them being my Bible. I kid you not, EVERYTHING in the back lounge was destroyed from the flames, except my Bible. The outside cover was burned and messed up but NOT ONE PAGE was missing."
