It started around 4:30 in the morning. I could smell something burning. I ran to my kitchen and turned the oven off. By now flames were coming out of the top of the cooker. Thick black smoke was pouring out from somewhere.
I simply didn’t know what to do. It all happened so quickly! Within about 30 seconds, I could see a small fire was turning into a blaze. I was astonished and scared. I needed help immediately. I rushed to my neighbour, Mr. Khan’s house.
Mr. Khan called the fire-brigade over telephone. After a minute or two, smoke was pouring out of all the windows of my flat. My flat was on fire! I was feeling so bad, so very depressed. Everything was turning to ashes. About 5 minutes after since we had called the fire brigade, we could hear the sirens of the fire engines.
Now, I could hear the firemen crashing about and shouting. My house was burning down and I could do nothing but watch it burning .
