OCALA, Fla. — A Marion County firefighter is getting heat after someone shot cellphone video of him driving around a stopped school bus.

In the video posted to Facebook, he got mad at the parents who were yelling at him to stop.

The video shows a man in a red SUV driving around a school bus that was stopped with its stop sign out and lights flashing, while the bus driver was picking up elementary school children. It happened Thursday at the bus stop on 4000 East Highway 314A. “As soon as the kids started loading the bus, he decided to pull out and zoom past,” said parent Catherine Fernandez.
