Ans. Late Night
It was a late night. Anjali was about to switch off the light and go to bed when she saw a light outside the window. On close observation, she found that it was a fire. A fire! The very idea was horrifying. The house was on fire. Their own house was on fire! She lost her wits for a moment. She tried to cry but words wouldn’t come out. She was in the grip of an unknown fear. But soon she recovered her senses. She must do something-something immediately. She rushed towards the bedroom of her parents. She barged in and cried, “Fire Ma, Fire! Papa — fire!” At once they were out of their beds. They shouted, “Fire? Where?” They are on the ground floor. They came to the window. A cloud of smoke was rising up. There were flakes of fire rising. The Fire Alarm was rung. Soon all the neighbours appeared on the scene. The ‘Fire Brigade’ was informed and they replied promptly that they were on their way. Now we were confronted with a problem. Should we use the lift or take the stairs to come down? God senses prevailed. We decided to take to the stairs. My mother tried to collect some valuables and documents. All other things were left behind. The thick layer of smoke had spread all around. My parents took me and my younger brother and came down safe and sound. The firemen did a wonderful Job. They reached there within fifteen minutes. Once on their job, they performed it clinically and perfectly well. Most of the furniture, curtains and carpets were burnt to ashes on the ground floor. Thank God! There was no loss of human life. We thanked God and of course, the brave firemen who brought the fire under control within half an hour. Later on, it was discovered that a short circuit was the cause of the fire.
