Ans. Fire Accident

Last Saturday, on 6 May 20XX, a huge devastating fire broke out in Seemapuri slum area. I was at my house and taking dinner with my family when I heard loud cries and shouts. I looked out of my balcony and saw to my horror that the houses made of mud in the slum area were on fire. A huge cloud of smoke was rising from the area. Within minutes the flames began to engulf the whole area. The people were caught unawares. Out of sheer panic, they started throwing water and sand available in the vicinity of the fire, but all in vain. The high surface winds of the summer were the other reason that caused the fire to spread quickly. Soon the fire brigade arrived and the rescue operation began. It took nearly 4 hours to put out the fire. All the people trapped inside the locality were saved. A short circuit is said to be the cause of the fire. Police investigations are on to ascertain the cause of this blaze.
