A Fire Accident Seen by Me
Last Sunday, I went to bed at 9 PM and fell into a deep sleep. Suddenly, at around 1 AM, I was awakened by loud cries coming from nearby. Curious and alarmed, I quickly got up and rushed to the spot.
To my horror, I saw a cottage engulfed in flames. It belonged to a poor rickshaw puller who supported his family of four by pulling rickshaws. At that time, the entire family had been sleeping. The fire, the cause of which was unknown, had spread quickly and uncontrollably.
A passer-by noticed the flames at midnight and began shouting, "Fire! Fire!" His cries alerted the neighbors, who rushed to help. People tried their best to put out the fire by throwing water, but their efforts were in vain as the flames spread to nearby cottages.
Finally, the fire brigade arrived and worked tirelessly for over an hour to bring the fire under control. During this time, some brave individuals managed to rescue the rickshaw puller, who was unconscious, but tragically, the other three family members could not be saved. They were burned in the fire, losing their lives in a heartbreaking accident.
The tragic event deeply moved and shocked me. The sight of the devastated family and the destruction caused by the fire left a lasting impression on me. Even now, I cannot forget the sadness of that dreadful night.
Moral: Tragedies remind us of the importance of community support and preparedness in emergencies.
A Fire Accident: last Monday, I went to bed
Last Friday, I was met with a harrowing experience of a fire accident. It was 11 pm and I was fast asleep when a clamourous noise abruptly woke me up. Without any delay, I sprang out of bed and rushed towards the direction of the noise, only to discover a cottage on fire. The flames were soaring high up into the sky, with one-third of the cottage already engulfed in flames, and rapidly spreading to cause further damage. Fortunately, my neighbours had also responded to the commotion and had gathered at the scene, trying to douse the fire with whatever means they had at their disposal - jugs, buckets, pots, and pitchers.
Luckily, there was a pond located nearby, and the women began to fetch water using the pots, while the men hurled it at the flames. The coordinated and united effort of everyone led to the fire being brought under control within fifteen minutes, eventually succeeding in extinguishing it. The inhabitants of the cottage were a small family of a couple with their only son. The breadwinner of the family was a farmer who earned his livelihood through hard work in the fields. The devastation of the fire left the family in distress as it had destroyed their only shelter, and everything they owned was now in ruins.
The kindness and empathy of the neighbours came to their rescue, offering the family financial assistance to help them get back on their feet. Witnessing the charred remains of the cottage left me deeply shaken, but the compassion and unity demonstrated by the community helped alleviate the tragedy. It is crucial to remember that a collaborative effort is needed to confront and overcome any adversity, no matter how formidable it may be.
