Chesapeake, Va. – Fire and Rescue crews responded to an incident aboard a school bus carrying elementary school students Monday.

According to the fire department the two elementary age children were likely sprayed with coolant from a broken heater coil.

The children were scalded on their lower legs and had some blistering.

Both kids were transported to a hospital.
