I want to respond to all the people critiquing the fire department. I’m no fire officials, so I don’t know exactly what official protocol is but the fire department knew ahead of time that everyone had gotten off the bus and were safely away. No one was hurt, or even hospitalized. Believe me the fire department showed up very quickly on the scene. If anyone reading this has experience, fighting these types of fires, please comment.
Why is there seemingly no effort to put the fire out? The flames are rapidly approaching the fuel tank. what happens then? We didn't get to see that. Was it a diesel or propane bus? How did such a raging fire get started? The bus looks to bee fairly new. As usual, tons of unanswered questions.
@@firealarm8not all of them. You can tell what fuel the bus runs on by the color of the bluebird logo at the front on each side of the bus, at the roof line. The standard diesel bluebird bus will have a black colored bluebird logo. The gasoline powered bluebird bus will have a blue colored bluebird logo. The propane powered bluebird bus will have a green colored bluebird logo. There you have it. With the fire already engulfing the front of the bus, there is no way to tell from this video alone what fuel the bus used.
To think, people wonder why school buses in most states don't have seat belts, this is why. These things go up like mobile homes! At least it was only a Blue Bird.
It takes minutes for a bus to be fully involved. I was a school bus driver, and it doesn't take a lot for a wiring problem or diesel fire to threaten lives.
@@A_Bit_of_Thought Good point. The electric buses will be coming in a year or two as school boards who have bought the climate change Kool Aid get on the bandwagon. We switched to propane buses in our district this year and it's been a nightmare. They're breaking down right and left and we've had one fire seriously injuring a mechanic. The government grant turned out to be a Trojan horse. No surprise.
The Fire Department was there almost instantly. My video shows the fire official look nonchalant. It’s important not to rush to judgement. At the time the fire department knew everyone aboard had gotten out and were safely away.
Thankfully this wasn't a house fire. They took too much time : #1. Getting anywhere near the scene. #2. Doing anything even close to trying to control unnecessary traffic through the scene (hazardous smoke with cancer causing chemicals). And #3, If the Incident Commander was there, why weren't the fire apparatus close behind him when he arrived? It seemed a lot like the Keystone Firefighters were in charge, rather than a bunch of professionals!.
@@erickutepow No, but I have a former neighbor who is. We have discussed what happens in a fire. Many items used today give off toxic fumes, especially materials made from petroleum products. For instance foam used in upholstery is made of gasoline byproducts. I'm a former commercial truckdriver, who hauled hazardous materials. I used to read my handbook to familiarize myself with the dangers of what I might haul, and what could react if hauled together.
W.T.H., What was the guy in the turn-out gear looking for? And the other two idiots standing on the side of the ditch? Why were they even there? It seems that the whole group showed up to watch the fire. Also, why waste fuel, and put mileage on the equipment, if they were just going to stand around? They should have to lose what they were paid to stand around. They should have to repay the cost of fuel, and wear and tear on the equipment to the tax payers. Do your job, or find another one!!!!!.
Volunteer firefighter/emt and I have your answer. The one in the turnout and white helmet is the chief. His job is to do a 360° walkaround so he knows what they have, where the exposures are, what the threats are, and if there are hydrants. His is also the incident commander to let incoming crews know where he wants them and is telling the crews where he wants them and what he wants. As IC (incident commander) he should not be involved in the fire suppression. Although it does happen it is not best practice for the IC to be involved in fire suppression. The other 2 were the EMS crew. They were checking to see if there were patients. What he video does not show is the engine crew pulling hoseling and attacking the fire which appears to happen after the end of the video.
Yes I knew by the way the emergency crew was acting that there was no one in danger. As I drove away, I saw all the kids with the school bus driver further up the road. They were all safe.
Dan risa Esa clase de bomberos. Llega uno a ver si hay fuego. Pasa dos veces Para ver si se esta quemando. Y llegan cuando ya se esta apagando son un chiste nada mas.

Sorry teacher but my homework caught on fire last night on the way home

The bluebird buses have switched mostly to propane, maybe there’s a different way of attacking a fire with that fuel source? Not sure…

thank you for filming horizontal
Yes!

Glad to see everyone made it off the bus safely and there were no reported injuries.

Just be glad it wasn't an electric bus with a lithium battery.

A lot of chiefs………no fire equipment!
Seems that way.
naturely
wwg v@@1940limited
You didn't even film them actually putting the fire out. All these emergency sirens but Noone does anything to put it out. Crazy!
How do you seem to get to a fire before the fire trucks even arrive ?
Whelp my bus is gone that blue bird isn’t cheap
Why was it on fire? At least that's why they have a good rear emergency exit.
First Student would have that back on the road next week.
you when you stub your toe 19 times in a row:
What's taking so long for fire department?
I am watching from Elmira NY good quick response from the fire department
Your joking right?
The Fire Department was there almost instantly. My video shows the fire official look nonchalant. It’s important not to rush to judgement. At the time the fire department knew everyone aboard had gotten out and were safely away.
What’s with the heavy breathing?
Why rush? It’s a total loss now
I was breathing heavy because I had to run to get the shot before the authorities came and chased me away or started letting traffic go down the road
What was that one firefighter gonna accomplish by walking up to that bus?
I guess those drills where I was forced to jump out of the back emergency door was important!
Probably drity the air filter or leaky on the school bus
Total Kaos. Govt funded FD. Even if they had a pumper, they'd hose down the trees to protect them from catching fire.
Blue Bird. Cheap bus.
what a sorry response
Agreed
Thankfully this wasn't a house fire. They took too much time : #1. Getting anywhere near the scene. #2.

Bingo
Thank you for your response, are you a fire fighter?

Where was the engine co.
Clearly another volunteer dept that has no idea what to do. SMH.
figures no hurry to put water on the fire.Just take your time
i thought blue bird had made fire proof bus
Does bluebird know about there buses fire?
What school was that bus from?
It was a private school bus company that was being contracted to Ocean City (NJ) Middle School
School closed for bus caught on fire
So what happened ?
Lots of sirens no trucks
Did the bus driver die or kids or there wasn’t any kids on the
No, the bus driver and all the kids got off safely. No one was hurt or even hospitalized, just a little shook up
Oooooooooooommmmmm.. mmmmmmmmmmmmgggggggggggggg
OR NO THE SCHOOL BUS IS ON FIRE
SUE!
Ggg😂
How?
Well This school 🎓 bus isn't magic 🎉 at all
