Kids were in immediate danger on their way to school, until this lady stepped in
Just like every other morning, Teresa Stroble was out and about in the early hours picking up children, and dropping them off to school on the bus.
But on this particular morning, Teresa had no idea that she was going home a hero from her daily school run in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
The school bus which Teresa was driving, somehow managed to catch fire, leading to the quick thinking woman to safely evacuate 56 students off the bus.
