House On Fire

Fire on house is one of the most awful sight for any individual. The hot burning flames turn everything into ashes and are often the cause of big ruins. Many houses have caught fire and some of them were turned into ashes while luckily others were safe.
Once upon a time, 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.
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.
