• AThe rear of the bus is involved in fire or hazard
• BThe front is involved
• CBoth ends are blocked
• DIt is the easiest

Correct answer: A. The rear of the bus is involved in fire or hazard

Study technique for this topic

Know the dimensions of the front, side, and rear danger zones, the proper eight-light activation sequence, and the emergency evacuation procedure including front-door, rear-door, and split evacuations.
