Emergency EvacuationQuestion 46 of 80
Before evacuating, if time and safety permit, the driver should:
a.Refuel the bus
b.Rearrange the seats
c.Restart the engine
d.Secure the bus by setting the parking brake, shutting off the engine, and taking the emergency equipment and student roster
Explanation
If circumstances allow, the driver secures the bus by setting the parking brake, turning off the ignition, removing the key, and activating hazard lights, then takes the first-aid kit, fire extinguisher if needed, and student roster. This prevents the bus from moving and helps account for all students. In a sudden fire, however, speed of exit takes priority.
