The buses around here have the automatic (tire) chains. They
are great. YouTube/Axllebeer

Editor’s Note: “Video Spotlight: School Bus Fires” recapped sever- al school bus fires that struck nationwide.
Very scary! School buses burn very quickly! Facebook/Diana Hollander Editor’s Note: There have been several noteworthy school bus
fires in the past month. In one dangerous fire in Baltimore, all 20 students were evacuated safely. Read more about fire safety, evacuation drills and fire suppression systems in the March 2019 issue at
stnonline.com/go/fs.
This is why evac drills are so important. Glad everyone is safe!
Janet Petrisin Twitter/@jmpetrisin Editor’s Note: The NTSB released its preliminary investigation
results from the recent fatal school bus stop crash in Indiana that killed three siblings. Read more at
stnonline.com/tag/ntsb.
Is it time to start the discussion for mandating right-hand side pick-ups only? I would love to hear your thoughts.
