“The Huber Heights Fire Division responds to all kinds of motor vehicle accidents throughout the year, but it isn’t often we have to deal with a crashed school bus,” a social media post from the fire division said.

On Thursday, members of 3 Unit used the opportunity to train on extricating passengers from various points on the bus, including removing side windows and panels, flapping the back door and even cutting through the roof.
