School bus driver Dorian Pace safely evacuated 15 students from a burning school bus in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. The fire broke out behind one of the rear wheels on Bus 21 while transporting students to Monticello Middle School.
Dorian is a veteran bus driver with over 11 years of experience. He said that the annual bus evacuation drills helped them prepare for this emergency. What’s amazing is that there were no injuries reported. He said, “What was going through my mind was, I can’t lose any kids.”
His quick thinking turned what could have been a horrible day into a moment of relief. Dorian Pace is a hero, and I’m sure those kids and their parents will be forever grateful for his bravery.
