A bus driver in Florida is being called a hero for her quick action in safely evacuating all the children on board before the bus became engulfed in flames.
Kristina Buhrman was driving towards Discovery Academy in Lake Alfred, Florida when she noticed smoke coming from the back of the bus Wednesday morning. She pulled over and evacuated the children moments before the entire bus burst into flames.
