Fire Extinguisher
The fire extinguisher on most
VISION
buses is mounted vertically, forward of the entrance door stepwell or horizontally to the floor near the
Driver’s seat. States requirements vary for the type and size of the fire extinguisher for school buses. The fire extinguisher must be monitored
to ensure the charge level is within the acceptable range, and the expiration date current. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure com-
pliance prior to each trip.
Triangular Roadside Hazard Reflector Kit
For those states requiring the triangular markers to be located in the
driver’s compartment, this container is mounted on the floor immedi-
ately behind the driver’s seat. In some states, it is mounted on the floor,
under the rearmost left-hand seat or under the second right hand seat.
The contents of the triangular warning device kit should be checked
each month or as the regulations of your state dictate. See the
Enroute
Emergencies chapter for instructions on deploying the reflectors.
Flare Kit
If the bus is equipped with a flare kit it will be located in the driver’s area. The location may differ according to state specs. The kit contents
should be inventoried every 30 days, or as required by your state and local regulations. The mounting fasteners should be checked monthly
to ensure security.
Wrecking Bar
If the bus is equipped with a wrecking bar option it will be located in the driver’s area. The location may differ according to state specs.
