Besides a charged fire extinguisher, spare electrical fuses (when the bus uses them) and three red reflective triangles, what other emergency gear does a school bus have to carry?

Answer options

Why

A school bus needs more emergency gear than most vehicles: along with the fuses, triangles and fire extinguisher, it must carry a first-aid kit and a body fluid cleanup kit. Flares, bolt cutters and rubbing alcohol are not on the required list.

Tip Remember that ordinary first-aid supplies are not enough, because a school bus must also carry a cleanup kit for body fluids and other biohazards.
