A Fire

It was twilight time. I was watching television in my house when I heard an explosion. So I went outside to see what the matter was. A column of dark billowing smoke told me the story. There was a fire raging a short distance away.

I got onto my bicycle and pedaled it the direction of the smoke. A couple of kilometers later I came upon the fire. It was a row of motor- workshops and they were burning furiously. The police and the fire department had already cordoned off the area. I watched from a distance.

The fire rose to about twenty meters and it lit up the whole area even through the sky was already dark. The firemen desperately sprayed streams of water into the fire to control it. Now and then explosions could be heard as gas cylinders blew up in the intense heat.

For more than an hour the fire reged. I could see anxious people trying to get near the workshops only to be held back by the police. They were obviously the shop-owners trying to save  their shops. Actually they could do nothing but wait for the fire to be extinguished.

Finally the blaze died down and darkness enveloped us. The workshops were totally razed. Only red – hot embers remained where they once stood. The crowd thinned and I too got onto my bicycle and cycled home.
