I had never seen a house on fire before. So, one evening when I heard fire engines with loud alarm
bells rushing past my house, I quickly ran out and, a few streets away, joined
a large crowd
of people; but we could see the fire only from
a distance because the police would not allow anyone near the building on fire. What a terrible scene I saw that day!
Huge flames of fire
were coming out of each floor, and black
and thick smoke spread all around. Every now and then tongues of fire would shoot up
almost sky-high, sending huge sparks
of fire round – about. Three fire engines were busily engaged and the firemen in their dark uniforms were playing the hose
on various parts of the building. The rushing water from several hoses soaked
the building
but it did not seem to have any effect on the flames.
Then the tall red ladders of the fire engine were stretching upwards and
I could see some firemen climbing up with
hoses in their
hands. On reaching almost the top of the ladder, they began to pour floods of water on
the topmost part of the building.
This continuous flooding brought the fire under control but the
building was completely destroyed. While the
fire is a blessing in many ways, it can also be a great danger to human
life and property.
