A Ridgewood school bus burst into flames shortly after dropping off special needs students at school this morning.
Around 8:35 a.m., students of P.S 239 near Seneca Avenue and Weirfield Street had just exited the bus when crossing guard Stephanie Gale saw fire shoot up from the underside of the vehicle.
“I don’t think the driver drove ten feet,” Gale told Bushwick Daily. “I saw smoke, did a second take, saw flames under the bus and called 911.”
