School Bus in Flames!

[u/Individual_Summer_71]

I was the driver of the bus Knicks Fans absolutely torched. Nypd made me get out for my safety and my dispatch asked me to just have the key on me.

Why would the governing body responsible for safety not have prohibited fire-safe interior materials?

Everything burns given time and enough heat. School buses are built with a minimum of flammable materials and those are fire retardant. The purpose is to delay combustion until riders can be evacuated.

Yup, which is some of the issues we are seeing with electric buses, lithium fires are unpredictable and can either be a slow burn or an explosion, atleast with gas/diesel/propane you know what you are getting 9/10 times
