One day, I was studying at home. Suddenly there was a loud noise. I came out of my house to know what had happened in the neighborhood.


What I saw, I could not stop my scream. A house in my neighborhood had caught fire; people from the neighboring areas were rushing towards the house. They were pouring buckets of water to extinguish fire. Many people were throwing sands and dust over the fire. A few people were trying to control fire by throwing blankets on it. But the fire was ravaging. It was a horrible sight.




This house was a three-storeyed building. Some inmates of the house were on the second floor. The fire started from the ground floor. Soon, it spread to the first floor. The inmates of the house who had been entrapped on the second floor were crying for help. Someone in the crowd informed the fire brigade. The flames were rushing towards them. Their lives were in danger. Some of entrapped inmates of the house took the risk of rushing out through the ravaging flames. They sustained minor burn injuries. Those who were on the second floor had no way to escape their lives. They were just crying for help. The people outside were at a loss how to help the victims to come out.

Meanwhile the fire brigade arrived. People took a sigh of relief, because despite their best efforts they could not extinguish the fire. The staff of the fire brigade fought bravely with the fierce flames. Water pipes were laid to extinguish the fire. A staircase was set to the window of the first floor. He took great risk. He brought out the inmates and came down amidst flames. By doing so he himself was injured. The moment he brought down one of the inmates, he fell unconscious. Even the rescued inmate had serious burn injuries. The injured were immediately rushed to the hospital.


However, with a great deal of efforts fire could be extinguished but it caused great damage and destruction to the house. Furniture, valuable articles and other belongings worth lakhs, of rupees were burnt to ashes. The whole house presented a dismal picture. The kitchen, the dining room, and the drawing room were badly affected.


But thankfully no life was lost. The inmates were rescued with timely help and assistance by the staff of the fire brigade who put their lives to risk saving them. In course of which he sustained injuries. Later, when investigation was made, it was found that the leakage in the gas pipe had led to the outbreak of the devastating fire. However, government offered free treatment to the victims and the inmates were also compensated.

It was on the 7th of November that a fire broke out in a big house. The house was situated in one of the most crowded lanes of the city. It had three storeys and many rooms. It is said that about six families were occupying this house.

The fire started on the second floor, and soon spread to all parts, of the building. Many causes were given for the outbreak of the fire. One gentleman said that the fire had been left burning in the fire-place, near which was lying a piece of cloth. The piece of cloth caught fire, and burnt for a while. Afterwards a pile of wood, which was also lying near caught fire. The fire which had at first been a tiny flame developed into a big blaze. It touched the rafters of the roof, and gradually spread over the windows and other parts of the house. The worst thing was a strong wind blowing at that time. This fanned the flames till the houses in the neighborhood also came very near catching the fire.


At that time cries of lamentation went up from the house. Babies screamed, women wailed, and men shouted for help. Some neighbors were very good, and tried to bring the fire under control at once. The fire brigade soon arrived, and was able to get the flames down in about an hour and a half.


Much damage was done to the building. Most of it was nothing but a heap of ashes, but some parts of it escaped utter destruction. The inhabitants of the house also lost much. Their clothes and furniture were burnt to ashes, and much valuable property had been lost. The whole loss was estimated at five million rupees. It is said that the building was not insured against fire. If that had been done, the owner would have been able to recover his loss.


While the house was on fire, one gentleman showed much courage. It is true that all the inmates were able to escape with much difficulty. But one boy was reported to be missing. He was about thirteen years old, and was reading in a school. All his people became very anxious when they found that he had not been rescued from the fire. At this a gentleman, who was a P.T.I, in a school, made up his mind to save him from there flames. The way in which he scaled the burning walls of the house was very remarkable. Many a time he was very near being burnt to death, but he avoided the fire with much cleverness. At last he reached the second storey of the building. He found that cries were coming from one of the rooms. He went inside that room, and found the boy in much distress. The sight of this gentleman filled the boy with hope, and he at once rushed towards him. The teacher carried him on his back. It was wonderful how he climbed down the wall again. As he came down in the street everybody felt very happy, and the parents thanked him again and again.
