After looking at the Skewly site, let me warn you AWAY from any school bus that's been used to haul wildland firefighters.

While a testament to the ruggedness of these rigs, you do NOT want to fix all the things that can get broken while hauling 20-25 smelly firefighters and their tools over 2track roads into and out of fire assignements 9-10 months out of the year.

so if there is a separate caged off area in the rear of the bus, or the word "Fire" appears anywhere on the forward portion of the outside, just walk away.

my 2c worth.
