A Maryland bus driver is being hailed today as a hero after she helped
20 elementary school students off a bus and to safety as a fire quickly
enveloped their school bus in just seconds.
Officials in Prince George's
County said that around 4:45 p.m. Monday, firefighters with the
Branchville Volunteer Fire Company were called to a school bus fire in
College Park. Dash-cam footage captured and released Monday by fire
officials showed bright-orange flames erupting inside the bus as thick,
black smoke poured out of the vehicle.
