"Photo courtesy 2safeschools"
You got less than
3 minutes!
This photo was taken of a school bus about 2 1/2 minutes into a fire, started for training purposes. - Photo by Michael Birrell, Chief, City of Dearborn Fire Department.
Did you know that a school bus can go up in flames in 3 minutes? That's the statement the safety director at my work told the Dean at the high school after he only 'talked' to the two boys that were smoking on my bus. He didn't even call their parents!! He's answer? " I did not know that." Hmmm my opinion is that what those boys did was not a discipline issue but a safety issue!
So today on another bus...which is brand spanking new... a junior high girl decides to burn her seat. Left a 2 inch hole and a burn mark up the back of the seat. Very scary stuff.
Education is the key...and in the spring when I do bus evacuations I am going to bring up fire.
Education is the key...it's the key to keeping our kids safe.

I agree with you about those boys. It's more of a safety issue. Pretty scary stuff here. 3 minutes goes fast. *Barb* http://journals.aol.com/barbpinion/HEYLETSTALK

Good job in being so outspoken with operating a safe bus! I don't think that many people think bus drivers are responsible for the actions of those youngsters until SOMETHING happens. ~Nikki
