I thought we might like to discuss this article on this forum. http://www.schoolbusfleet.com/news/719738/new-study-analyzes-school-bus-fires?utm_campaign=Newsline-Thursday-New-20170126&utm_source=Email&utm_medium=Enewsletter

It's interesting that the article says that the study found that "a significant number of school bus fires were classified as intentional". I'm wondering why they would say that and what their definition of "intentional" is?

I have seen more than a few seat covers with disposable lighter melt tracks over the years.

I have 6 2009 C2's with Mercedes I am willing to use to demonstrate an intentional bus fire....

I am most shocked by the claim of slightly more then daily. Have there really been 365 bus fires in the last year? What constitutes a fire in their eyes. Like fastback said i see evidence all the time of students trying to set afire seats but nothing ever lights.
