Fire in the Cab

c2 dm 16.03.001

The incidence of fire in school buses is rare, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard #302 limits the flammability of specified materials used inside the cab, but despite this, most materials can burn.

Warning: Do not allow flames, sparks, or any other heat sources (such as cigarettes or light bulbs) to contact materials in the cab. Any materials in the cab in contact with these heat sources could cause serious personal injury or vehicle damage.

In Case of a Cab Fire

As quickly as possible, bring the vehicle to a safe stop, apply the parking brake, and turn off the ignition. Ensure that all passengers have exited the vehicle before exiting yourself.
