FL School Bus MVC, 1 Fatality

Dec. 3, 2003
Approximately 30 elementary school children were on their way to their school just a few blocks from the scene. The owner of the house where the bus came to rest in the front yard decided to remove the children from vehicle due to a fuel leak.

An assignment for a potential Mass Casualty Incident was dispatched shortly after 0900 hours when reports were received that a school bus was involved in a roll over accident. B/C2, E16, E18, R16, R25, R36 responded to Chancey Rd and Allen Rd near the city of Zephyrhills.

Engine 16, whose quarters are on Chancey Rd not far from the scene, arrived in under five minutes and reported major damage, entrapment in a pick up, with a school bus on it
