An Ohio school bus driver, Dorian Pace, is being hailed as a hero for saving 15 students from a school bus that caught fire en route to Monticello Middle School last week.
The fire started behind one of the rear wheels as the bus reached an intersection. The driver quickly evacuated all students to safety before the flames spread. See photos here.
No injuries were reported, and another district vehicle transported the students to school while firefighters contained the blaze.
Superintendent Liz Kirby commended the driver’s swift actions, attributing his preparedness to annual bus evacuation drills.
