This is perfect to show my children on School Bus safety Therese. Don’t currently have kids but will one day. Thank you again. Bus safety is a very important topic. Your the best and you have nice co- workers too. Awesome practicing.😊
I remember elementary school they sat us like 37 to a seat to watch the exits in operation and then evacuate and debrief now in highschool they just say we’re doing evacuation drill as we pull up we hop out get back in for our stuff and go
I think it’s good that the exits have alarms on them. When I was in elementary school my bus did not have alarms on the exits, so when some older kids ditched the bus by opening the back door, my driver didn’t know until students started reacting. I also think those exit windows having the handles that flip to the side it a good idea, because I’ve seen a few of the handles that lift up get caught on coats, backpacks, etc. and accidentally open the window...
I agree, having the audible sound is very helpful for the driver to know if the exits are being tampered with. I too have seen the window latches get accidentally triggered, by a multitude of items. The handles are not uniform, so that still can happen, though I don’t believe it’s commonplace.
The only problem that I have with these videos...they are hard to hear! She needs a microphone so we can hear her... Otherwise, the videos are very helpful!!!! Thanks
The only thing i would like to point out is should the bus driver be the last one off the bus so he can check if all the students are off the bus that no student is sleeping an left behind ??
passengers would likely have access only eight of the exits, but you are correct, the driver’s window could have potential for becoming an emergency exit …thanks for the unique perspective
Answers to the questions. Evacuation means leaving or exiting a area such as a building or vehicle due to a hazard or emergency such as a fire or hazardous materials incident. There could be as many as 8 or 10 exits depending on the type of bus. The exits of the school bus include the front door, the rear door, the side doors, emergency windows, and roof hatches. The front door is at the front of the bus and it helps you get out the front. The rear door is at the back of the bus and it helps you get out of the back. The side doors are at the side of buses and it helps you get out of the side of the bus. The windows could be anywhere on the bus and they help you get out if the other exits are unavailable such as in a rollover. The roof hatch is on the top of the bus and it helps you get out if the other exits are unavailable such as in a rollover or if the bus is in a body of water. When the other exits are unavailable such as in a rollover or if the bus is in a body of water. If the bus is on fire or is in danger of fire or if they are in a dangerous position such as in a area where they could be hit by traffic or is stalled on railroad tracks or in any other dangerous situation such as if it is near a cliff or is in a body of water or is in the path of a tornado or is near hazardous materials. A situation that would require you to evacuate the bus is if it stalls or breaks down on railroad tracks. No you can’t bring all or any of your stuff with you unless if it is in your backpack and only if the backpack is already on you. That is because in a real emergency such as a fire or if the bus is stalled in the path of a oncoming train you will only have between a few minutes or maybe even seconds to evacuate before the fire spreads and engulfs the bus or the train hits the bus and therefore have to evacuate the bus as quickly and orderly and safely as possible and getting your stuff or taking it with you will waste the few precious seconds and minutes that you have to evacuate and it would then get you injured or killed. You need to do the drills calmly and quickly and leave your stuff behind and get as far away from the bus as possible preferably 100 feet away from the bus. Possibly yes because split evacuations are used when both doors are able to be used and when you need to evacuate the bus as quickly as possible such as if the bus stalls or breaks down on railroad tracks and there is a train coming. Because the bus could be fully engulfed in smoke or flames in only 2 minutes or the bus could be hit by a train in only 20 seconds. Possibly yes.
Additional question. Where to go after leaving the bus. Answer. 100 feet away from the bus but where exactly to go depends on the situation. If the bus is on fire or it is near hazardous materials or in a hazardous materials incident you need to move upwind of the bus to avoid inhaling hazardous materials or smoke. If the bus is stalled on railroad tracks move towards the direction of a oncoming train at a 45 degree angle so that way you won’t be hit by flying debris from the bus if the train hits it. If there is a tornado then get inside a sturdy building or storm cellar or as a last resort seek shelter in a low lying area such as a ditch that is far away from the bus.
@@SchoolBusSass i was lost when they started to have us go to the back and made us go out all we did was slide off of the floor and basically just jump down I don’t really know explain it but I wanna know how in the world they gonna get the wheelchair kids out since we have 2 on are bus but it was okay I hurt my leg tho-
If you would like to see some ideas of how to evacuate chairs, you can watch our special needs evacuation video . th-cam.com/video/gi_c1POuDB4/w-d-xo.html I’m sorry you hurt your leg. It’s always great to have an evacuation plan and practice it.
@@SchoolBusSass thank you so much for putting the link to the video I now know how they get the wheelchairs kids out the bus and my leg is feeling better when I got in my school nurse gave me some ice for it But I have one more question how do we kids get out the roof emergency exit? If you could tell me that would be really helpful because I don’t really know how that works
The only time roof hatch exits would be utilized, would be if the bus was tipped on its side or submerged in water. The hatches have a knob or a latch which , when released, opens freely. The opening could then be used to exit the vehicle. I believe the hatch is demonstrated in the evacuation video. Well, only the release feature. Again, the roof hatches would only be used if the bus were on its side or submerged in water. Extreme emergencies only, not for evacuation drills or demonstrations.
Wher is the Full Video of ALL the Steps of a Back Door, Split Bus Evacuation Drill?? Doesn't the Radio Mic have to be put out the Bus Driver's Window, the Key in the Auxiliary Position so You can hear any Guidance Instructions......and Any Other Key Steps?? Vaya con Dios.
Hi Debra, Well, it’s going to depend on what type of evacuation you will be doing. If there is a fire on the bus, you would get the children to a safe place away from the bus, the mic and communication would not be applicable…same with a tornado or RR evac. District policy should dictate what specific protocols should take place for evacuations. With cell phones being far more prevalent, the radio would not be as crucial . The phones makes it much easier to maintain contact with base during emergency situations.
Opening a window is not the same thing as exiting. Kids are supposed to jump out that window head first? It is like 8' off the ground! Are the other kids supposed to jump on top of the others? Fill the Bus, hit the Alarm and start the timer. You have 20 seconds

Other wise you guys did a great job thank you so much

I actually have a mic on, but apparently, it's not as effective as I had hoped. Thanks for your comment and feedback.
Great job
Thank you, Cody! :)
Excelente .felicitaciones y saludos desde Colombia
Muchas gracias, Domingo!
some busses like the Thomas c2 you pull up on the red lever on the window exits
The only thing i would like to point out is should the bus driver be the last one off the bus so he can check if all the students are off the bus that no student is sleeping an left behind ??
Yes, and thank you for your input.
The driver should be the last person off the bus.
To open Emergency Exits, Lift Handle and Push Door or Window out
The 9th one is the driver side window
Certainly could be an option, in a pinch.
Nice Work!
Thank you!
there are actually 9 emergency exits.
drivers window
front door
roof exits (2)
window exits (4)
back door
passengers would likely have access only eight of the exits, but you are correct, the driver’s window could have potential for becoming an emergency exit …thanks for the unique perspective
None of the drivers i know are getting through that window😐
I have to go 3 drills this week.
I hope they all go well for you.
I THANK THEY CAN
I HAVE FATH IN THEM
THNK YOU
Could you do an updated video with better sound?
I will see what I can do… Thanks
Lift Handle, Push Out
If I got in a bus crash I would use a glass breaking tool and shatter the window

I didn’t know they did this and I had one today💀

Some buses only have front and rear doors mostly it's older buese
Emergency exit windows and roof hatches were mandated in 1992.

Do You Have IC BE Buses? They Are Smaller Than The IC CE Buses.
No, we do not.
We had a few when I first started, but not currently.
So You Have Just Big Buses?
They started phasing out our smaller busses about five years ago. The new trend in our district, has been 84 psgr RE’s. We now have 18 of them.
THER ARE 8 EXITS ON THE BUS
Indeed, there are.
THNK YOU

Hi
Hello
Now search for ELECTRIC BUS FIRE so you get a good firm understanding what your children will be up against if their EV bus catches fire
We have no Ev busses in our district
1:23 CORRECTION: "There are *Nine* emergency exits on the bus."
