I don’t know the location, but the last thing I would want after anything like a boiler explosion or fire is a bunch of kids at the site. It would be far easier to get them somewhere else so their parents could come get them. Have you ever tried to contain a bunch of excited/upset kids?
My recollection is that when waiting outside for the fire trucks to leave, none of us were particularly upset or excited. Our parents never found out about these things unless we told them.
And I guess you missed my remark about the bus drivers. Are they really on call all day now?
