We could see this dark smoke rising to the sky. We could tell its not too far from our place. Just at the right turn outside our house is the house that is on big fire. We could hear the fire trucks sounds their alarm while passing the street to the place where there is fire. My sister went to the scene as she was hysterical upon seeing that big and saw from the windows the big black smoke.

We should always be careful especially this time of year, where its really hot and fire is easily produced. It was great that the fire did not make it your area. I feel sad for those who houses and buildings caught up with the fire. It is really is sad to lose one. I once experienced it of having your house burn to ashes and you can't do nothing. It really is frustrating. Last year, our house got burn. It was the most sad part on our family especially to my parents. It was our house since when our mother give birth to us. It has a lot of memories on it. But still we were able to cope up. And build a new home. I know its hard but we should stand up and move forward again that is life should be.

This is scary. Fire when it is small is always our good friend. However, if it grows big it is horrible ! I hope the fire men are able to contain its spread soon and wish that no life perishes in that cruel fire...

You got to get out now.. These days when it's really hot and humid in our country, Fire is one of the most common disasters that could happen. I could remember a few weeks ago when a house also burned down. We could see the house from our top floor and that fire caused 5 houses to be burnt to the ground. Thankfully, nobody got hurt, but they were not able to get their things out. Somehow the cause of the fire was an explosion from a gas tank. Whew! We never could really be too safe when these things happen. God forbid. Keep safe!

That situation must have been horrifying to witness. I couldn't imagine, really. I've never seen anything like this, nor do I want to. I hope no one was harmed !
