Make some light comments about having pancakes and a black bear surviving at the black bear diner. it was great. i mean after all the tenseness we needed a joke to loosen everything up. reporter: then back between walls of fire. when we turned the corner, there we were, back again. and it was awful. um, i just felt like this was never going to end. just being gridlock trapped in the road. there was nowhere for us to go. the traffic wasn t moving. and then our last stretch, too, i think that was the that was the moment i thought that we might not make it out. reporter: abby s home burned. so did charlotte s and kevin s. mary s still stands. homes were lost. but in the end, everyone on the bus survived. safety is such a important part of a bus driver s role, and, um, you know, i must have
