Kudos to the Fire Department for doing a quick action on the said incident. That is really dangerous especially to the kids. I hope they will be treated soon for their trauma.

I have always feared being trapped in the upper floor of a burning building. It was great these 3 people could be rescued before they suffered too much, and sustained greater injuries, than they did.
