A mobile shower went up in flames early Saturday after the first day of the Coachella music festival in Indio, California, authorities said. No injuries were reported.

Fire officials responded to the festival campgrounds around 2:06 a.m. Saturday, nearly an hour after the final performance, CBS Los Angeles reported. They found a shower unit engulfed in flames; one trailer was damaged and another was destroyed. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
