First responders received a call around 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday of multiple vehicles on fire at 65-44 Saunders Street in Rego Park.
However, it was thanks to a real-life hero that this disaster did not turn tragic.
The school bus driver, with more than 30 years behind the wheel, is being given all the credit for shepherding half a dozen young, frightened students off the bus and away from danger. "The bus driver did a great job, again there were six kids still on the bus and as soon as ignited was able to get them off quickly and get them safe and out of the way and none of the kids were hurt," FDNY Battalion Chief Brian Hanrahan said.
"The bus driver was fabulous," one neighbor said. "I think he's a true hero and the kids, thank God nobody was hurt. The cars can all be fixed."There's no word yet on how the blaze was ignited, but it is suspected that the fire started in the engine of the bus, then quickly grew, fed by the diesel fuel in the tank.
The battalion chief says he needed extra hose lines to battle not just the burning bus but also the burning cars and to keep it from engulfing the nearby apartment buildings."It's all the sudden. Nobody could imagine something going to happen like this. Terrible," resident Lika Palag said.Fortunately, no one was injured.
