Over the last two days there have been two serious school bus crashes.  No city, town, village is immune to these crashes.  The school bus in the First Due Tackle logo is a constant reminder to prepare for these incidents.  We dedicate a whole page on this blog to school bus extrication and emergency planning. Share with your crews and learn more about the challenges you may face.
