When our house caught fire

It was a cold winter Saturday night. My family and I were cosy watching a movie in front of a heater. We were having so much fun!

Mum's jacket was close to the heater and suddenly flames of fire were coming out of it. We were all screaming and running all over the place. The flames were growing higher. Dad put a fire blanket but it was not enough. There was unbearable heat in the room. I could see flames running through.

We were scared to death. Mum called the fire fighters and we could hear the sirens wailing within minutes outside it was chaotic. We went running for our lives. I could hear some papers getting burnt. We could smell the burning flames from outside. I could not hold my tears. I knew all my toys, my tablet, my clothes were turning into ashes.

The fighters were doing excellent job until they managed to stop the fire. Everything was ruined.

When our house caught fire I simply hoped it was just a dream!
