An electric school bus burst into flames in Ascot Corner, Quebec, shortly after dropping off the last student of the day. While no one was injured, the incident raises critical questions about the safety of electric buses and the preparedness of bus drivers to handle emergencies.

Lion Electric, the manufacturer of the bus, has recently faced significant challenges, including layoffs of 400 employees and a temporary halt in operations. What happens if the company goes out of business—who will maintain these vehicles, and how will school districts manage without proper support?

This video explores the risks posed by electric bus batteries, especially during crashes or thermal runaway incidents, and highlights the urgent need for specialized training for bus drivers. Drivers are the first line of defense, and understanding how to respond in emergencies could make all the difference in protecting children’s lives.
